Aphinia Dinner Discussion - Phoenix
Off the Record: The Future of IT Security
Dinner Discussion, Scottsdale
Cohosted by Dina Mathers, CISO at Carvana
The most useful conversation at any security conference happens in the car park afterwards. The slides are closed, the badge is off, and people finally say what they actually think. This evening skips straight to that part.
Three hours, one table, no slides.
The Conversation
A private evening in Scottsdale bringing together a select group of senior security leaders for three hours of candid, peer-to-peer discussion.
No presentations. No panels. No pitch. Just an open conversation where leaders compare notes, challenge each other, and talk honestly about what is working and what quietly isn't: the AI pilots that stalled, the tools that got cut, the questions the board keeps asking, and how you cover the gaps with the team you already have.

Who You'll Be Sitting With
A select group of IT and IT security leaders from across Phoenix and greater Arizona.
People who carry both the budget and the blame for security at their organisations, each arriving with a different perspective, a different set of scars, and a different view on what to do next.
The Host
A private community for IT and IT security leaders, bringing together the people accountable for security across their organisations to meet their peers and speak openly.
One flag: the four examples in "The Conversation" (AI pilots, tool cuts, board questions, team gaps) are mine, not from your brief. Swap them for the moderator's actual guiding questions if those are set, or cut them back to one.
