CISO  Sanctuary Events

From our inception, Hitch Partners has dedicated our time to advocating for the CISO community. As a result, we have co-hosted 50+ CISO Sanctuary Dinners.

sanctuary

[sangk-choo-uh-ree] noun

your safe and peaceful haven; a comforting place of refuge

Sharing knowledge and building relationships…

One of the unique differentiators of the CISO position and its rise as a recent executive position has been the ability to maintain a strong sense of community.  CISOs unlike any of their counterparts are community driven and our vision is to advocate and preserve the community with every event we participate in and/or plan.  This means that our CISO Sanctuary dinners are a place where CISOs gather for an evening of connection while achieving quality conversations and time void of sales, presentations, pitches or other distractions that take away from the ability to further togetherness.

FAQs

  • While most events are different, Hitch Partners has the capacity and global network to act as the concierge for the entire event; from venue evaluation, short-listing, and selection; to CISO communications and outreach to the community; to setting the agenda and presenting and/or providing speakers; to follow up.  We can craft an event for your particular needs

  • As most of the events vary in size, level of engagement, and location, the level of involvement required by Hitch will determine the total cost of the event plan.  We charge a retainer for the event services and we are reimbursed any travel costs (airfare, car rental/service, accommodations) associated with driving the event. 

    Hitch Partners does not pay deposits in advance to hold event locations; this is the responsibility of the client.

  • The Hitch CISO community has over 3,000 existing relationships within the US. Hitch communicates and promotes the event to our CISO community through online invites and direct communication with CISOs.  In order to maintain the quality and privacy of the attendees pool, we do not post on social media prior to the events.

  • The location will be decided by the host and Hitch Partners. Venue options will be presented to the host with capacity, cost and a venue link. The host will choose the deciding venue.

  • Portfolio CEOs are always welcome to the CISO Sanctuary Dinners. We discourage any sales personnel or sales pitches during these dinners. It is a time for building relationships with the area CISOs.
