Most of the visitors to our tech security conference directory are CXO Level professionals, (CISO, CSO, CRO, etc.), so it stands to reason that we created this category and that I was to also create this list of recommended senior-level conferences and events. I hope you benefit from the list.
There are hundreds of Senior Cybersecurity Conferences within our directory: I have only included a bunch that I think are particularly excellent. I will be editing this list as the year progresses and notable conferences that match this category are submitted to our directory.

| CyberTech NYC | United States |
| Cyber Security Summit: Los Angeles | United States |
| FutureCon New Jersey Cyber Security Conference | United States |

The American CIO & IT Summit is clearly aimed at those working at a senior level within cyber security: CISO’s, CIO and all C-Level executives managing risk, privacy or indeed any aspect of security.

For nearly two decades, SecureWorld has been providing a series of talks that are almost always engineered towards solving global IT security issues.

Cybersecurity Summit: New York
2020 Conference Date

Conference Summary
ISMG conferences take place in four continents, so they have a wide reach.
Typically their security events are aimed at the CXO level and focus on subjects such as fraud prevention, cybercrime, and other enterprise level cybersecurity issues.
The industries that ISMG conferences target are typically:
- Government
- Finance (FinSec)
- Retail
- Healthcare
- Energy (SCADA/ICS)
The majority of the content is procured from the ISMG’s global editorial team and comes from their publications like BankInfoSecurity, DataBreachtoday, HealthcareInfoSecurity, and GovInfoSecurity.
Their publications, and events, as stated as very much aimed at the CISO/CSO level so if that fits your profile then I’d certainly recommend that you get to learn about ISMG.
The ISMG community has over 700,000 subscribers so you’ll be in good company.

Next Generation Networks organizes CENGN Summit.
CENGN Summit, like the other CXO-level conferences listed in my resource, is aimed at decision makers within Cybersecurity.
The CENGN Summit is one of Canada’s leading conferences devoted to promoting disruptive networking technologies; so if that’s an area you specialize in then you’d be very much at home at this event.

Although this event is not strictly speaking an InfoSec event aimed uniquely at CISO-level executives, I’ve included this conference because the Luxatia Group specialises in B2B events.
The folks at Luxatia put on a bunch of fantastic events covering many industries (not just InfoSec) so I’d encourage you to learn more about them and see if an event fits your needs and interests.

I’ve included Legal Cybersecurity Expo because, by its’ very nature, this conference is aimed at senior decision makers.
We have a resource dedicated to listing some of the best legal conferences to attend, but I included this one because it is designed to help senior executives protect themselves against cyber attacks and threats. This event is co-located with Legalex, a conference designed to assist businesses to expand and evolve.
Data Connectors Nashville Tech-Security

Data Connectors is in my opinion within the same realm as FutureCon, Cyber Security Summits and CyberTech.
Data Connectors have been organizing conferences in many states within the US since the early 2000’s. The team mostly invite C-level InfoSec and tech professionals who share their expertize on the latest cybersecurity threats and challanges.
As with other similar events listed in my resource, by attending expect to expand your personal network and learn a lot of actionable skills and tools.
