It starts on November 9, 2026.

The event is held in Washington DC.

Forrester lists security and risk leaders, information security leaders, and privacy leaders as intended attendees.

It suits security, risk and privacy leaders who want Forrester's analyst framing on AI-driven threats and governance, since the speakers named are Forrester principal analysts and the program centres on AI, vulnerability management and auditable controls. Hands-on practitioners wanting deep technical sessions will likely get less from an analyst-led event, and the sponsor list (Verisign, Horizon3, ThreatLocker and others) signals a vendor presence that buyers can use but that adds sales conversation.

Attendees at enterprise security conferences in Washington DC usually wear business casual, with many in blazers or suits, and comfortable shoes help for moving between sessions in November weather.
