About Insider Executive Dinner Orlando, FL

Thursday, November 13th, 2025
 

The Innovate Executive Dinner series brings together 8–12 CISOs and cybersecurity leaders for an off-the-record evening of meaningful networking and peer-driven discussion.

In today’s evolving threat landscape, collaboration is critical. This intimate dinner format fosters open, candid dialogue on shared challenges and strategies—without sales pressure or large crowds. Before the event, attendees complete a brief anonymous survey on their security priorities and pain points. Aggregated results are revealed during the dinner to spark data-driven conversation.

Join the Innovate Orlando CISO Chapter for an evening of connection, insight, and elevated discussion—beginning with a relaxed networking reception and followed by a guided conversation led by Chapter Leaders Mark Morgan, Trina Ford, Steven Faulconer, & Erwin Eimers.

This event is for cybersecurity and information security practitioners only. If you are a software vendor, please send sponsorship inquires to info@innovatecybersecurity.com

What is Innovate Cybersecurity?

At Innovate Cybersecurity, our mission is to deliver insightful educational content and foster a community of collaborative security professionals through our in-person conference series and online resources.

Founded in 2018 with the launch of the Innovate Cybersecurity Summit, our goal has always been to provide expert-level education in a more intimate setting that encourages meaningful networking among security professionals.

Following the success of our conferences, we expanded our mission to serve the broader cybersecurity community. Today, Innovate offers timely advisories on emerging threats and vulnerabilities, in-depth educational guides, industry insights, and candid commentary on a wide range of cybersecurity topics.

What makes Innovate unique is that it is built by security practitioners, for security practitioners. As technical security professionals, we share our firsthand experiences and industry findings to cut through the noise and deliver actionable information that IT and security teams can rely on to excel in their roles.

In  2025, we are excited to bring Innovate to local cities across the country. By building regional communities, we aim to further empower security professionals and expand the reach of meaningful collaboration and education.
