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.

Golden opportunities shine this summer—

here's what’s new!

If summer plans are still up in the air, then we have exciting news for you! This summer we are packed with thrilling events, and we can't wait to experience them together!

June kicked off in Northern California with AI Insiders: Cybersecurity, and brought many stimulating ideas. July brings an incredible chance to be part of the CISO Stampede in Canada, and we’ll wrap up the season in vibrant Las Vegas with Black Hat. This year, we’re celebrating the women of cybersecurity, in an unforgettable fusion of elegance and impact at the CSWY Awards 2025 and CISO Soirée.

Exciting moments await, and we hope to see you there!
