White Hat Ball 2026: Sponsorships Sold Out – With One Exclusive Opportunity Remaining

The White Hat Ball has always been more than just a glittering night in the calendar of the information and cyber security community. It’s a chance for our industry to come together in celebration, connection, and—most importantly—support of a cause that touches lives across the UK.

In January 2026, we will mark the 21st White Hat Ball, returning once again to the Royal Lancaster Hotel for what promises to be another unforgettable evening. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors and supporters, the event is already shaping up to be one of our biggest successes yet.

We are thrilled to announce that all sponsorship packages for the 2026 White Hat Ball have now sold out, with just one exclusive opportunity remaining.

The Platinum Headline Sponsorship- A Unique Legacy

The final opportunity available is our Platinum Headline Sponsorship.

This sponsorship represents the highest level of partnership with the White Hat Ball, offering the sponsoring organisation a leading role in one of the most respected fundraising events in the information and cyber security community. The Headline Sponsor is recognised throughout the evening, across event communications, and within our wider community, ensuring their support is visible before, during, and after the event.

Most importantly, the Headline Sponsor’s commitment directly supports Childline, helping to ensure that children and young people across the UK continue to have a safe, confidential place to turn when they need it most.

With every other sponsorship already taken, the Platinum Headline Sponsorship is now the only opportunity remaining.

Why This Matters

Childline is a vital service that costs £40,000 every single day to run. Every minute, every hour, children across the UK reach out for help, whether it’s because they’re experiencing abuse, struggling with mental health, or simply need someone to listen.

Since its inception, the White Hat Ball has raised over £2.5 million for Childline, making a tangible difference to the lives of young people. Every sponsorship, every donation, and every event ticket contribute to this impact.

That’s why our sponsors mean so much. They don’t just help make the evening possible, they help ensure Childline can continue to answer those calls, day after day, year after year.
