The Line DC, Washington DC | Wednesday, November 12th |  16:30 - 20:30 PM

Join JD Sherry, Managing Partner at ISTARI, and Tim Youngblood, former CISO of T-Mobile and McDonald’s, for an exclusive roundtable designed for senior cybersecurity executives to engage in conversation around the most pressing and emerging topics impacting their roles and teams. 

Hosted at the The Line DC, one of Washington's most stylish boutique hotels, this private evening will bring together a select group of CISOs and security leaders for a frank, off-the-record exchange. Expect an engaging discussion in a relaxed setting with drinks and dinner provided.

Discussion topics:

Elevating Board Education
How can CISOs communicate risk and resilience in a way that secures ongoing board attention and support? We’ll share strategies that move beyond technical reporting to storytelling, influence, and governance impact.

The Power of Partnership
No CISO operates in isolation. From cross-functional alignment inside the business to building trusted alliances across the ecosystem, we’ll explore how strategic partnerships create stronger resilience and credibility.

Crisis Leadership
What defines success when everything is on the line? Drawing on lived experience, we’ll examine the CISO’s role during high-pressure cyber events — from making tough calls to steering the organisation through uncertainty.
