SECURITYWEEK has opened its call for presentations for the 2026 CISO Forum Virtual Summit, which will take place online on 11–12 November 2026. The event is aimed at CISOs, senior cybersecurity executives, practitioners and other security leaders, and the organiser says it has thousands of registered attendees.
Proposals should offer practical, actionable guidance, real-world lessons or candid perspectives rather than high-level commentary. Suggested subjects include security leadership and governance, communicating cyber risk to boards, AI-driven attacks and defences, nation-state threats, ransomware, supply-chain risk, Zero Trust, identity and cloud security, resilience, regulation, workforce development, incident response and breach case studies. SecurityWeek says it particularly wants presentations from end-user cybersecurity leaders.
Presentations must be educational, original and vendor-neutral; product pitches and disguised commercial content will not be considered. Speakers must be able to present virtually and have a reliable internet connection, a good-quality camera and a microphone. Applications should include a title, informative abstract, attendee learning objectives, and the speaker’s contact details, biography and headshot. Submissions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, with the call closing on 9 October 2026.
