Spring Event
2026

April 23, 2026 | Plano, TX

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 Bootcamp, 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 Bootcamp, 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.
