It starts on November 4, 2026.

The 2026 summit is at Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel in Phoenix.

The organizer lists CISOs, CISO practitioners, C-level peers, and thought leaders.

It is worth it mainly for CISOs and senior security leaders who want candid peer discussion, since it is a one-day local program with speakers including CISOs from Sotheby's, Choice Hotels International, Avnet and Honeywell Aerospace. Sponsors such as Google Cloud Security, Cyera, Island and Concentric AI mean some content will be vendor-aligned, and junior practitioners or those wanting hands-on technical training would get less from it.

Executives at CISO and enterprise technology summits usually wear business casual, such as slacks and an open-collar shirt or blazer, and Phoenix's warm climate keeps it lighter than in other cities.
