The Quorum D.C. | Adversarial AI: A Closed-Door CISO Forum
15 seats. Sitting CISOs only. Nothing attributed, nobody pitched.
Most of what CISOs actually learn comes from frank conversations with other CISOs, not from conference stages. The Quorum exists to make more of those conversations happen. It began in Dallas, where the first group asked to meet every quarter. Chicago followed, and now D.C.
Seats are by invitation or peer nomination.
