IT & Security Leaders Exchange

Gibsons in Chicago sets the scene for an invitation-only gathering of CISOs and senior security leaders, convened to compare notes on the decisions that define enterprise resilience.

The format is deliberately intimate. Over a classic steakhouse dinner at a single table, leaders can test their thinking against peers carrying the same accountability — and leave with a sharper sense of where their own programme stands.

The discussion centres on enterprise risk resilience and security governance at global scale: how leaders hold a consistent risk posture across regions and business units, where governance models bend under pressure, and how resilience is measured in terms the business recognises.

Expect frank exchange between peers — how others are structuring their teams, prioritising investment and reporting risk upward — and the kind of executive connections that continue long after the evening ends.

Erik Hart, CISO at Cushman & Wakefield, opens the conversation with insights from leading security across a global enterprise, before the table takes it wherever matters most to the room.

A curated group of CISOs, CSOs and heads of security from across Chicago and the wider Midwest, drawn from organisations with complex, multi-region operations.

Every seat is held for a leader accountable for security strategy, so the conversation stays at the level of governance, risk and leadership rather than tooling.
