OPEN TO ALL CORE MEMBERS – In early 2014, the Las Vegas CISO group was formed by CISOs of three major organizations in Las Vegas. They individually spread the word and started forming quarterly in-person meetings with local cyber and IT leaders. The group has consistently met on a quarterly basis ever since, retaining its pure independence, with strict rules for sponsorship. In this session, the history, formation, and lessons learned will be shared with the goal of encouraging others to form similar groups in their areas.
