Uniting the C-Level Community from coast to coast
15 years of Connection
Celebrating 15 years of building trusted relationships and empowering CISOs through meaningful networking. It all began with a passion for connection—and it’s only grown stronger.
Winter’s here, a new year is calling —
here's what’s new!
We wrapped the year strong—and the momentum continues…
In 2025, we brought security leaders together where the best conversations happen—over great food, honest dialogue, and shared experience. From the laid-back energy of the CISO Social, to the bold ideas exchanged at the CISO Soirée, and the high-impact conversations in Las Vegas at CSWY & CISO Soirée, each event was about real connections and real talk. We’re just getting started—and can’t wait to see you at what’s next.
Kicking off the new year with powerful connections and meaningful exchanges — we can’t wait to see you!
