The summit starts on December 9, 2026.

The event is at Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, in Minneapolis.

The listed audience includes CISOs, C-level peers, CISO practitioners and thought leaders.

It is most useful for sitting CISOs in the Minneapolis area who want candid discussion with peers, since the one-day program is built around interactive peer-driven topics and speakers include CISOs from Securian Financial, Thrivent, Hormel Foods and Solventum. Practitioners below the CISO level, or vendors seeking open sales conversations, would get less from it, because the audience is C-level peers and Netskope, Cyera and the other sponsors are the only vendors listed.

Executive security summits at hotels usually see business casual to business attire, such as a blazer with slacks and no tie. Minneapolis in December is very cold, so a heavy coat and winter footwear are needed for getting to the Hyatt Regency.
