Program

 

The Denver CISO Community is coming together to close out the year in true holiday style. Join your peers for an evening of great company, passed appetizers, handcrafted beverages, and meaningful conversation as we celebrate another year of cybersecurity leadership and collaboration.

This is not your typical networking mixer. The CISO Holiday Reception is designed to spark genuine connections, thoughtful idea exchanges, and shared laughter among peers who understand the challenges and triumphs of leading security programs in an ever-changing threat landscape. We will break into groups and take time to trade insights and discuss creative solutions you can bring back to your teams through roundtable conversations and open networking with fellow CISOs and senior security executives.

In the spirit of the season, we will also shine a light on charitable organizations that are close to the hearts of our community, offering everyone a chance to learn, give, and make an impact together. Whether you are swapping best practices, supporting local causes, or simply raising a glass to another year of resilience, the Denver CISO Community Holiday Reception promises a night of camaraderie, reflection, and festive fun.

Register today and come celebrate the season with colleagues and friends who make this community special, and leave inspired for the year ahead.

 

Grab a drink, enjoy passed appetizers, and connect with the Denver CISO community in a relaxed holiday‐setting.

A short welcome setting the tone for the evening: why we’re gathered, what we hope to achieve, and a nod to giving back.

Small-group discussions around a few curated prompts: for example, “How are you keeping your team engaged during year-end?” and “What emerging threat are you prepping for in 2026?” We will rotate groups to mix up the perspectives.

Brief descriptions from two local charitable organizations supported by the CISO community - how they’re making an impact and how CISOs can get involved.

Continue to mingle while enjoying more passed hors d’oeuvres and beverages. Use this time for deeper peer connections, informal conversations, and festive exchanges.

 

A wrap-up where we highlight insights from the evening, share a take-aways, and thank everyone for participation and support of both our community and our charitable partners.
