As Co-Chairs of the Minnesota CSO Executive Summit, it is our privilege to welcome your support and participation in this event.  Established in 2008, the Minnesota CSO Executive Summit is organized for and driven by Minnesota Information Security executive leaders.  Our goal is to create and foster a dynamic peer exchange around the evolving information risk challenges and dynamic regulatory environment confronting Chief Information Security Officers.  Our mission is to learn from each other based on presentations and facilitated dialog; our values include building trusted relationships ahead of need.  Minnesota’s senior security executives play a pivotal role in choosing all topics discussed.  We facilitate an open exchange of non-proprietary information, sharing strategies and  tactics, insights and knowledge.  Information and best practices are conveyed through formal case studies, prepared presentations, expert panels, and guest industry speakers.

Our meetings are also a great chance to make executive contacts, extending the power and reach of your network of senior security leaders.  We have witnessed the power of unique thought leadership and creative insight during our summit dialogs and group presentations.  We welcome your participation and contributions to our forums as well.
