Global CISO Executive Summit

Tee off on one of Tennessee's most beautiful courses. Greystone Golf club (designed by PGA Tour pro Mark McCumber) is known to golfers of all skill levels for its scenery and uniquely exciting holes.   

Flourish with the perfect Nashville pair; bourbon and Wrangler hats. Head over to a local Rustler Hat Co. for an exclusive hat shop experience to customize your perfect 100% Australian wool hat. Each guest will choose hat color plus add charms, fabric wraps, stitching and fire burnt accents with the help of a professional hat designer. Then head to lunch at Nelson’s Greenbrier Distillery’s brand-new restaurant followed by distillery tour and tasting. Founded in the 1800s by their great-great-great grandfather Charles Nelson, the Nelson brothers have resurrected Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery —not just to make and sell whiskey—but to rebuild a business that helped bring the term ‘Tennessee Whiskey’ to America and Europe.

Indulge your green thumb. Situated on 350 lush acres of land in Nashville, Green Door Gourmet is nestled along the Cumberland River. Upon arrival, guests are escorted to the Green Door Barn, an architecturally-advanced cabin constructed with Tennessee native rough-hewn white oak for the Chopped Challenge. During this challenge, teams will create a simple recipe of either BBQ spice rub or salad. Lunch will be a special farm-to-table buffet from the Green Door Gourmet Farms.

Finally, you will take an outdoor farm tour to wrap up a delightful and immersive farm-to-table experience.

The Global CISO Executive Summit agendas are driven by the mission-critical priorities identified among the community. Each agenda is uniquely crafted ‘by Global CISOs, for Global CISOs,’ and will be available closer to the gathering. All topics and sessions will be inspired by the following themes.

• Advancing the Business Value of Security
• Protecting Critical Infrastructure Against Advanced Attacks
• Investing in Company Culture to Attract Talent and Empower Staff

During the second day of the 3-day Executive Summit, attendees will be given the opportunity to attend a variety of sessions, including keynotes, peer-led breakout presentations, and boardroom discussions.

Many of our sessions will be hosted by the community’s most strategic partners.
