Spring Event
2026
Our largest event of the season returns on April 23 in Plano, Texas, bringing together CISOs and senior cybersecurity leaders for a day of high-level discussions, collaboration, and meaningful connections within the security community.
​
This year’s conference introduces an exciting new addition to the program: the CISO Boot Camp, a focused experience designed to provide valuable insights and practical guidance for today’s security leaders.
​
Alongside the Boot Camp, the event will feature expert-led sessions, strategic discussions around today’s most pressing cybersecurity challenges, and opportunities to connect with peers and trusted industry partners.
New for 2026, CISO XC is launching the first-ever CISO XC CISO Boot Camp, a three-hour, vendor-neutral session designed for current CISOs, aspiring CISOs, and security leaders preparing for the next step in their careers.
​
Led by respected and experienced CISOs, the Boot Camp focuses on the real challenges of the role, including executive communication, crisis leadership, building resilient teams, and navigating long-term career growth in cybersecurity leadership.
