The Philosophy
CISOs learn differently when they are surrounded by executives who face comparable decisions. The format is designed to surface experience from across the room and turn individual expertise into collective insight.
No Presentation-First Format
For all intents and purposes, CISOs Connect™ does not rely on traditional slide-driven sessions. Facilitators use questions, exercises, whiteboards, scenarios, and structured discussion to engage the room.
Chatham House Rule
Where designated, discussions operate under the Chatham House Rule so participants may use the information received but may not reveal the identity or affiliation of the speaker. This supports candid exchange on issues executives may not discuss publicly.
What We Explore
Topics evolve with the profession and may include AI and agentic AI, identity, governance, enterprise risk, resilience, board engagement, leadership, regulation, insurance, cloud, data, third-party risk, emerging technology, talent, and executive decision-making.
Who Attends
The core audience is sitting CISOs and senior enterprise security executives. Selected subject-matter experts and solution-provider executives may participate where their experience is relevant to the discussion and the integrity of the executive environment is preserved.
The Experience
The best CISOs Connect™ programs combine substantive working sessions with opportunities to build relationships over meals and shared experiences. Networking is intentionally integrated into the program rather than treated as an exhibit-hall activity.
Year-Round Community
The forum is one part of a broader relationship. Participants can continue through research, innovation programs, awards, leadership initiatives, and other community opportunities.
