What executives say
“The business value is huge. It’s more than just information technology. Every person in the room is a significant business leader operating at a very high level, and hearing their challenges and perspectives is really eye-opening.”
Ian Hyatt
ITS Director, City of Cape Coral
“This is my seventh summit. The value is the interaction with peers, comparing the challenges I face with how they’re approaching them. A little time out of the office with people I trust, where I can let my hair down, is a significant value.”
Jesse Hillman
CIO, DC Water
“It’s intimate, and I like the size of the group. I feel like I got to know everyone here on some level, and that’s very unusual for a conference.”
Jessica Allen
COO, Defense Cybersecurity Group
“It’s great to connect with industry peers and learn about the pain points they have with their security programs. We all have very similar problems, and different perspectives on how to solve them.”
Josh Scarpino
CISO, TrustEngine
“What I really enjoyed was the candid, comfortable, authentic environment, coupled with the caliber of the people in attendance.”
Dwayne Allen
Global CTO, Unisys
“What an amazing experience. The diverse set of topics and the free exchange of ideas made it interesting, thought-provoking, and never cumbersome.”
Nora Osman
CEO & Founder, Norvana
“We brought together true practitioners and really shared information. I created real connections, not just passing through.”
Maureen Niemiec
Director of Cybersecurity, Corewell
“It was very different than what I was expecting. A much more intimate and authentic conference, and a great chance to share challenges and, importantly, solutions.”
Steven Carter
Former CIO
“This is my second event, and I came back because the networking was fantastic. The first time, I met contacts I’ll have for the rest of my career.”
Pete Green
CISO, Anvilworks Security
“The value was absolutely amazing. You get to share and actually learn from your peers, and there’s nothing guarded.”
Michael Pompey
Chief AI Strategist, Arrow Electronics
