It was most useful for CISOs and senior security and IT leaders in the Boston area who wanted a one-day, peer-focused meeting, since admission was limited to active practitioners and speakers included Randy Rose of the Center for Internet Security and Deidre Diamond of CyberSN. At $250 and with practitioner-only admission, it offered a low-cost, sales-free room for decision-makers, though vendors seeking a broad buyer pool and junior staff seeking entry-level training would have gotten less from it.

Security leaders at city summits like this usually wear business casual, with blazers or collared shirts, and suits are common among senior executives.
