Executive Summit

Artificial intelligence is entering a new phase. No longer limited to generating insights, modern AI systems are beginning to act — initiating workflows, interacting with applications, and making decisions at machine speed. As agentic AI systems become operational participants inside enterprise environments, this session explores how enterprises can safely scale AI by establishing governance across identity, authority, behavior, and data, while enabling innovation without introducing unmanaged risk.

Attendees will learn:

• How to control the authority, behavior, and data access of autonomous systems operating across complex digital ecosystems
• The emerging governance model, enacted through a real-time control plane, to address authority drift, misconfigured permissions, and unintended AI behavior
• A practical framework and architecture for governing AI at enterprise scale

In today’s digital landscape, the CISO is one of the most essential leaders within any organization. What began as a technical security function now includes safeguarding data, guiding strategy, and meeting complex regulatory requirements. But as threats grow and responsibilities multiply, burnout and turnover have surged—leading many CISOs to leave their roles altogether.

Join this session to learn how to:

• Adopt flexible leadership structures to retain expertise while easing workload
• Prepare your transition early & define boundaries for staying retired
• Leverage experience through board seats and consulting roles

As AI agents move from passive tools to active workforce members, CISOs face new governance and security challenges. The risks of rapid, autonomous action are real—but so are the opportunities for transformation. This session offers a practical, forward-looking approach to securely unlocking the value of agents.

Join this session to explore:

• Reining in shadow agents
• Protecting agents from malicious context
• Protecting your business from rogue agents

As AI rapidly becomes a part of more business operations, CISOs face a dual challenge - securing the data that powers AI while leveraging AI to strengthen cybersecurity. From protecting sensitive data in AI-driven workflows to enhancing threat detection and response, organizations must build a security foundation that enables innovation without increasing risk.

Join this boardroom discussion to explore:

• Embedding security into AI projects to protect data and build trusted applications
• Using AI to improve detection, response, and recovery
• Strengthening resilience against advanced attacks, mistakes, and insider risks

Details coming soon.

Connect with like-minded peers in a one-on-one setting through Peer-to-Peer Meetings. You will be matched with peers in your community based on your shared interests and priorities.

Influence is one of the CISO’s most powerful tools. Building strong relationships across the organization is key in seeing business partners as allies rather than obstacles. Customer‑facing collaboration, techniques for creating genuine internal partnerships, and strategies for building trust with vendors are paramount to strengthening your security ecosystem.

In this session you will learn how to:

• Align security with business goals by involving partners early and co‑designing solutions
• Foster internal allies through clear, consistent communication and collaborative problem‑solving
• Partner strategically with vendors by setting shared expectations and maintaining open dialogue

As AI agents become more embedded in operations, compliance expectations are rising and legal teams are taking on a larger oversight role. Organizations must demonstrate transparency to third‑party monitors while strengthening governance as AI begins to manage key compliance activities.

Join this session to discuss:

• Setting AI review checkpoints to catch issues early
• Training teams regularly on AI usage, risks, and oversight responsibilities
• Limiting AI permissions to reduce compliance and operational risk

AI-driven attacks are now operating at machine speed, exposing the structural limits of human‑paced security models. As traditional detection and validation methods fail against autonomous threats, adopting persistent, self-sustaining security practices is now critical for resilience.

Join this session to discuss:

• Identifying which defenses break down first against machine-speed attacks
• Adopting nonstop, automated security testing at scale
• Scaling security to meet the new scale and speed of AI-generated software

The modern SaaS supply chain is a double-edged sword—both a catalyst for AI and a labyrinth of hidden vulnerabilities. And as enterprise ecosystems become an increasingly complex web of interconnected tools, CISOs are rethinking their SaaS supply chains to prioritize not just capability, but confidence—the confidence to give an AI agent access to sensitive systems and critical workflows, and know that there are guardrails, visibility, and intelligence wrapped around every action it takes.

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• How CISOs can confidently champion agentic AI for SaaS security
• Strategies for achieving deep visibility into SaaS-to-SaaS connections, user activity, and third-party integrations for effective AI management
• Cross-industry best practices in AI security from CISO peer

The World Economic Forum named creativity one of the top must-have skills for success in all industries. It is the key to thriving in this era of rapid innovation and change. But very few organizations have truly invested in the development of this essential capability. Why? Because creativity is considered too intangible to measure, too messy to fit into a strategic plan or simply something that is only for a few specially talented people.  In this engaging presentation, Artist/Author Noah Scalin pulls back the curtain on his own creative practice to explain the real ROI of creativity.

In this session, we will learn:

• Why creativity is a crucial skill for fostering innovation at your organization
• How to use creativity strategically for long-term impact
• Simple strategies that anyone can use to innovate, grow and inspire others

Finish the day sharing lessons learned with your peers over light fare and drinks at this closing reception hosted by your governing body members.
