About

The Official Cybersecurity Summit series was founded by Bradford Rand in 2013, with its inaugural event held in New York City. CyberRisk Alliance acquired the Cybersecurity Summit brand in October 2022, along with its TECHEXPO Top Secret division. Summit events are staged in first-class hotels rather than convention centers, and on-site attendance is deliberately capped to preserve a peer-to-peer environment. The Los Angeles edition marks the series' 11th annual installment, and organizers frame a single day at the summit as a way to help companies avoid costly breaches, stock devaluation, and litigation.

The Official Cybersecurity Summit: Los Angeles 2026 takes place Thursday, October 15, 2026, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM PDT.

The event is held in Los Angeles, staged in a first-class hotel rather than a convention center. The organizer has not published a specific venue name for the 2026 edition.

The organizer describes turnout as hundreds of business leaders, cybersecurity experts, C-suite executives, and entrepreneurs, with on-site attendance deliberately capped to keep the event intimate.

It is a single-day event that pairs hundreds of attending business and security leaders with dozens of exhibiting cybersecurity solution providers, kept intentionally small for peer-to-peer access.

Admission is limited to active cybersecurity, IT, and information security practitioners, including CISOs and senior security leaders. Students, interns, educators, and sales or marketing roles are not eligible.

The audience is corporate cybersecurity, IT, and information security staff, alongside the dozens of solution providers and sponsors who exhibit and demonstrate products to them.

Whether it is worth attending usually comes down to fit: practitioner-only cybersecurity summits like this one trade broad conference scale for smaller, closer access to peers and vendors in a single day. The organizer does not publish independent attendance outcomes or ROI data, so weigh that tradeoff against your own team's goals.

Most attendees at practitioner-focused security summits opt for business casual, since the day mixes vendor booths, sessions, and networking. The organizer does not publish a specific dress code for this event.
