About the evening
A private dinner for CISOs and senior security leaders.
Caroline Wong opens with a 20-minute keynote conversation starter on what's actually changing in security leadership right now. From there we move into an off-the-record roundtable over dinner: AI risk, agent governance, board reporting, and what's keeping CISOs up at night.
Small room. Senior peers. No vendor pitches.
