The Connect: C-Suite Edition

Thursday, November 5th. 6PM to 9PM CT at 1301 Fannin St, 13th Floor, Neutrality Building, Houston.

This time, Hacker Proof HQ and the WiCyS Houston Affiliate are bringing together CISOs, executives, security professionals, and the next generation of cybersecurity talent for an evening built around real conversations and shared experiences.

We’ll have five CISOs on a panel, with the conversation shaped by the questions you submit when you register for the event. Expect candid insights, a live Q&A, and plenty of opportunities to connect and network with security leaders and professionals across the community.

There will be free food, drinks, and music throughout the night.

We're also teaming up with Ore for this event. Sign up on Ore before the event, and you'll be matched with other guests during an activation on the night.

We’ll see you at The Connect: C-Suite Edition in Houston!
