CISO OPEN MIC

CyberPlayback Presents: Canadian CISO Open Mic Night

​Join us for an exclusive evening designed for Canada’s top security leaders.

​Like all of our other events, there is no sales pitches, no moderators, and no endless slide decks. Instead, it’s an open space where CISOs and senior security leaders can connect, share insights, and speak freely.


​What to expect:

  • ​Exclusive networking with peers at one of Toronto’s premier private clubs
  • ​Drinks & hors d’oeuvres in a relaxed setting
  • ​Open mic sessions & prizes designed to spark real conversations


​Important Notice:
Attendance is limited to senior security leaders from established organizations. Please complete the registration form. Confirmations will be sent to approved guests, with others placed on a waitlist due to limited availability.
