The Evening

Twenty-one floors above Caldwell Street, this evening connects IT and cybersecurity leaders who work in very different organizations but share much of the same job.

It is an informal setting: a chance to get to know fellow executives, swap professional experiences, and enjoy dinner with peers whose paths might not otherwise cross.

The Conversation

A closed-door dialogue centered on bridging the gap between business velocity, risk appetite, and modern infrastructure realities.

Protected by the Chatham House Rule, providing a trusted environment for leaders to share unfiltered perspectives on vendor ecosystems, board communication, and emerging threat dynamics.

Aphinia orchestrates the gathering, fostering candid problem-solving and actionable peer exchange.

What you'll take away

  • Opportunities to connect with fellow IT and cybersecurity leaders facing similar professional responsibilities.
  • Perspectives and experiences shared by peers across different organizations and industries.
  • Time away from day-to-day demands to build relationships with other senior technology and security executives.
  • New professional connections within Aphinia's community of IT and cybersecurity leaders.
