The people who grade everyone's homework are buying you dinner.

Schellman is the only Top 50 CPA firm focused exclusively on IT compliance and attestation services — the independent auditor and assessor behind a remarkable number of the SOC 2 reports, ISO certifications, FedRAMP certifications, and PCI validations the market already trusts. We're the #1 FedRAMP Independent Assessor and the first ANAB-accredited ISO 42001 certification body. When the most rigorous people in the room sign off, the industry believes it.

Here's what makes Schellman an unusually good host: we’re independent. Schellman has no product to push and no platform to demo — just a standard to uphold. So, a comedy night is weirdly on-brand. "People First" is our actual core value (as a certified B Corp), and the people behind every audit — the leaders carrying their org's certifications through evidence requests and Q4 audit seasons — almost never get a night that doesn’t involve work.

Hosting Black Hat After Dark says something specific about Schellman: the firm everyone trusts to be serious is secure enough to have fun. The leaders who hold the whole industry to its highest standard deserve one evening off the clock, so Schellman's giving them dinner and a show. 

We spend the year holding everyone to the highest standard. For one night, the only thing we're assessing is the dinner menu.

Avani Desai | CEO, Schellman
