Roundtables and dinners
for CISOs and
security leaders.
Closed rooms where CISOs and heads of security speak candidly about threats, resilience and the reality of the role, among people who carry the same weight and with nothing being sold.
Why this room.
What these sessions are, and why senior leaders in this field make time for them.
Security leadership is a role people rarely get to discuss honestly. The incidents that matter cannot be shared in public, the vendor conversations are relentless, and the human weight of the job goes largely unspoken. What a CISO needs is a room of peers, in confidence, where the guard can come down.
Convene X builds that room. A small group of security leaders, curated for seniority and relevance, around one question set in advance, chaired by the founding team and held strictly under Chatham House Rules. No products are demonstrated and no agenda is steered. It is a peer conversation, not a sales session, and what is said in the room stays there.
What tends to be on the table.
The chair sets the question; the room decides where it goes. These are the threads that run through most of these conversations.
Where the real risk sits, and how security leaders are building resilience rather than simply buying tools.
Protecting judgement, culture and human capability as automation reshapes what the organisation asks of its people.
Candid conversations on the reality of the role that cannot happen in a public forum.
Cutting through vendor noise to the decisions that actually move the security posture of an organisation.
Who is in the room.
Every seat is chosen for seniority, sector and a direct stake in the question. Guests are confirmed individually before an invitation is issued.
- Chief Information Security Officers
- Heads of Security and Heads of Information Security
- Security and technology risk leaders
- Senior leaders accountable for cyber resilience
How it works.
The same standard behind every Convene X room, whichever format you join.
Guest lists are built person by person for seniority, relevance and a real stake in the question. Every guest is confirmed individually.
A member of the founding team chairs the room and keeps it candid. Nothing said is attributed outside it, under Chatham House Rules.
No panels, no product demos, no sales agenda. Partners contribute to the conversation; they do not sell to the table.
Personal introductions after each room and a private group where the conversation carries on at the same senior level.
