CSO Executive Conferences attract the best and brightest security and business executives because the CSO brand is synonymous with the highest quality and integrity. Whether it's the thought provoking Security Confab and The Security Standard national events, our regional CSO Executive Seminar Series, or a CSO Executive Roundtable or Dinner Discussions, CSO executive conferences are the trusted educational forums and networking resources for the nation's CSOs and senior security executives because CSO knows and understand the executive security community better than any other security resource.

Our audience consistently rates peer-to-peer networking opportunities as one of the top reasons they attend CIO and CSO events. Therefore, all attendees must be senior level executives (i.e., CIOs, CSOs, CISOs, VPs, etc.) or their equivalent; involved in the purchase, evaluation or recommendation of IT or security products/services; and/or responsible for security policy within their organizations. Not qualified to attend are analysts, venture capitalists, sales, marketing or consulting staff from non-sponsoring vendor companies. Additional criteria for qualification are available upon request. We thank you for your understanding as we maintain the quality of this audience.
