Innovate Cybersecurity
Regional Chapters

Lead Locally. Stay Connected with CISOs and executives in your community.

Our chapter events extend the Innovate Summit experience beyond the conference, keeping CISOs engaged with peers and the Innovate community year-round.

What Are Innovate Regional Chapters?

Innovate Regional Chapters are invitation-only, city-based communities of CISOs and top information security decision who value peer-driven insight and trusted relationships. Each chapter hosts 1–2 exclusive events annually, offering an elevated local experience without the scale, noise, or sales pressure of large conferences. Whether through intimate dinners or structured executive evenings, every chapter event is designed to support candid discussion, shared learning, and long-term professional connection.
