Off the record. By invitation. A private forum for chief information security officers.
The CISO Executive Forum gathers chief information security officers and senior security leaders of high-growth companies. It is part of Open Future Forum, and it runs on the same principle: everyone in the room is a giver.
There is no pitch, no agenda, no recording, and no vendors taking notes. The conversations are the ones a CISO cannot have with their team or their board, held with peers who understand the seat.
The private dinner is the center of the forum. Around it, members gather in a handful of settings built for the way security leaders actually connect.
Sharp, off-the-record sessions on the questions security leaders are working through right now.
Smaller, relaxed gatherings where the conversation runs long and the introductions stick.
A full day with a small group of peers, the kind of time that builds real trust.
A signature Open Future Forum setting on the bay, where the room opens up away from the office.
Private boxes at Giants games, a relaxed room for members and their guests.
Practical working sessions on how AI is changing the threat model and the questions on the CISO agenda.
The forum is built for security leaders who make the room better. The question is simple: does this person give more than they take?
Members are identified by how they show up, long before any invitation is extended. If the answer is yes, a personal note follows.
Like every Open Future Forum room, the CISO Executive Forum runs on Adam Grant's Give and Take: the most generous people in the room create the most value over time.
Members offer their honest read of the threats, the budget, the board, without holding back for advantage.
The most valued act in the room is a warm introduction made without being asked.
This is not a quid pro quo network. The room holds the debt and pays it forward.
If you think you belong in the CISO Executive Forum, or know a security leader who does, we'd like to hear from you. Membership is by invitation or referral, reviewed personally by Murray Newlands.
