Where leading security executives
do their best thinking.
An invitation-only community of Chief Information Security Officers, convening at summits, sharing insights, and advancing the practice of security leadership.
The CISO Initiative℠ brings together the most accomplished security executives for candid conversation, peer learning, and the kind of dialogue that only happens when the right people are in the room. By invitation only.
2027 CISO Initiative Summit
Our next gathering brings together senior security executives from across the country for two days of curated peer dialogue. City and venue to be announced.
CISO Initiative Summit
2027
Two days designed entirely around the security leaders in the room. Structured peer dialogue, expert perspectives, and the kind of candid conversation that only happens when everyone at the table has earned their seat. No vendor pitches. No panels for show.
Members attend the summit complimentary, including hotel.
Parliament™ is the invitation-only C-level peer cohort at the heart of The Executive Initiative®. Parliament participants receive complimentary access to one Executive Initiative summit per year, their choice of any TEI event, including two hotel nights.

The CISO Initiative difference
We design every summit around the needs of the security executives in the room, not the agenda of a sponsor or the schedule of a conference hall.
Security Leaders Only
Every session is designed for candor among peers. CISOs talking to CISOs, without an audience, without a pitch, and without the performance that comes with larger conferences.
Curated Agenda
No keynote theater. Sessions are built around the questions that matter most to today’s security leaders, shaped by the members themselves before the summit begins.
Exceptional Settings
We gather in distinctive hotels that create the right atmosphere for serious thinking and genuine connection. The setting is part of the experience.
Vetted Community
Every participant is a senior security executive. Attendance is by invitation or application, so you always know the person across the table has earned their seat.
Select Partners
Our partners are chosen for their relevance to CISO-level concerns. They participate as thought contributors, not exhibitors, keeping the conversation quality high.
Year-Round Network
The CISO Initiative extends beyond the summit. Parliament participants stay connected throughout the year through cohort gatherings and peer introductions.
