Charlotte CISO Community Inner Circle 2026

Charlotte CISO Community Inner Circle 2026 took place on October 13, 2026.

It was held at Duke Mansion in Charlotte, North Carolina.

CISOs from leading organizations in the Charlotte region were the stated audience.

The audience was CISOs from leading organizations in the Charlotte region, with membership criteria that included private-sector organizations with $500M or more in revenue.

It was worth it for senior security leaders at large private companies, since the evening was billed as a dinner and facilitated discussion among vetted peers, with membership criteria such as $500M+ in revenue and local CISOs from VF Corp, Collins Aerospace and Kontoor Brands as co-chairs. Vendors, junior security staff and leaders at smaller organizations would have gotten little from it, as attendance required an application and the format was peer discussion rather than a program or expo.

CISOs at an invitation-only dinner usually wear business casual to smart casual, such as a blazer with or without a tie. The Duke Mansion setting pointed to the dressier end of that range.
