SecurityWeek Opens Call for Speaker Proposals Ahead of 2026 Virtual CISO Forum

SecurityWeek has opened its call for presentation proposals for the 2026 CISO Forum Virtual Summit, inviting cybersecurity leaders to contribute original, vendor‑neutral sessions to the upcoming online conference.

The CISO Forum, now in its 2026 edition, is slated to convene senior information‑security executives from across the globe in a fully virtual format. The summit aims to provide a platform for peer exchange on the most pressing security challenges facing enterprises today.

Organizers are specifically seeking talks that help attendees navigate emerging threats, bolster organizational resilience, and address the strategic dilemmas that modern security programs encounter. Submissions must be free of commercial promotion, focusing instead on actionable insights and best‑practice approaches.

Industry observers note that the rapid evolution of attack vectors—ranging from supply‑chain compromises to AI‑driven phishing—has heightened the need for unbiased knowledge sharing. By emphasizing vendor‑neutral content, SecurityWeek hopes to foster candid discussions that cut through the noise of product‑centric messaging.

Potential speakers include chief information security officers, security architects, and senior analysts who can draw on real‑world experience to illustrate solutions. Proposals are to be submitted through the portal indicated on SecurityWeek’s website, where a review panel will evaluate each entry for relevance and originality before selecting the final agenda.

The call for presentations underscores the growing importance of collaborative learning in the cybersecurity field. As the summit approaches, selected presenters will have the opportunity to shape the conversation around enterprise security strategy, offering peers a chance to adopt proven tactics and anticipate future risk trends.
