At an exclusive dinner hosted by The Stack and sponsored by Element, join leading CISOs Mario Platt and Gaynor Rich and CISO placement specialist Owanate Bestman to discuss current core CISO and security challenges -- from resilience engineering, to building resilient teams in a time of rampant burnout.
At The Stack we do our dinners a little differently: resolutely informal and analogue, expect frank conversation under Chatham House rule and world-class networking in an intimate setting among a peer network of CIOs, CTOs, CISOs and other technology leaders (and we use the word carefully, knowing how widely it is abused.)
Our evening will begin with relaxed welcome drinks at Somerset House's Pennethorn's from 6pm, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A, then a dinner with a presentation by the founders of the Matrix Protocol, Matthew Hodgson and Amandine Le Pape, CEO and COO of our sponsor, secure collaboration platform Element.
The Stack has a limited number of free seats remaining. Senior digital leaders interested in joining the evening can email our founder Edward Targett to discuss the event and sign up for invitation to future events.
