Security500 Conference 2026 begins November 16, 2026.

The conference is at The Westin Washington D.C. City Center in Washington, DC.

The organizer describes its audience as C-suite security executives and buyers of products, services, and solutions.

It is most useful for chief security officers and senior corporate security leaders, since the speakers hold roles at Walt Disney World, FirstEnergy, Dominion Energy, Twilio and The Washington Post, and the audience is C-suite executives and buyers. Its peer-led program covers topics such as critical infrastructure and major event security, so enterprise security teams benefit; vendors seeking buyers fit too, while junior or technical staff seeking hands-on training may get less.

Corporate security executives at Washington DC conferences usually wear business formal or sharp business casual, typically suits or blazers. November in DC is cool, so a coat is practical.
