Join us for CyberCMO Summit introductions. We'll talk about the Summit and give every CMO in the room a chance to introduce themselves.

Bring the challenge you’re still figuring out. Join fellow marketing leaders for an open conversation about the pain points of leading a marketing function—from budget pressures and team capacity to proving impact, aligning with sales, and managing executive expectations.

These roundtables are a chance to compare notes, ask honest questions, and hear how peers are tackling similar challenges. Come ready to share what’s working, where you’re stuck, and what you could use another perspective on.

Attendees will be invited to submit their pain points in advance to help shape the discussions. You’re also welcome to bring a challenge to the table that day.

Cyber marketing leaders are being asked to transform everything at once: team structures, go-to-market motions, executive expectations, and now build or save time with AI. But the hardest part of transformation is not the technology. It is leading people through it.

In this session, I will share leadership lessons from scaling teams, navigating acquisitions, stepping into the CMO seat, and leading through change across Cisco, SonicWall, and Hack The Box. I will explore how great leaders support early-career talent, create leverage with mid-level teams, and elevate top performers while introducing new ways of working in fast-changing environments.

Drawing from real leadership experience and current AI-era research, my talk will show why transformation is not just an operating-model challenge. It is a talent, trust, and culture challenge. Attendees will leave with a practical way to think about leadership for their team, their company, and their peers while guiding marketing organizations through uncertainty and growth.

Cybersecurity marketing has a sameness problem i.e. AI-native, platform-first, zero-trust, etc and buyers know it. This panel brings together a small, curated group of CMOs for a candid, unscripted conversation about what it actually takes to break through: what's working, what's not, and what the industry needs to hear. No vendor pitches, no prepared talking points — just honest, high-signal dialogue from the people actually doing the work.

Building on the AI Transformation panel, this roundtable gives marketing leaders space to compare specific AI use cases and work through the questions behind adoption.

In this peer-led roundtable, CyberCMO Summit attendees will compare how they are using AI today across strategy, content, research, operations, team productivity, customer insights, and go-to-market execution. Together, we’ll discuss where AI is proving useful, what it takes to make a use case repeatable, and how teams are assessing quality, time savings, and business value.

Expect a candid exchange with peers and ideas to help you decide what to test, improve, or expand next.

As a CMO in an AI-forward cybersecurity software company, we unleashed the AI floodgates early, mandating our teams learn the tools and ramp adoption to accelerate projects and improve outcomes.

What is uninteresting is that we’re using AI: what marketer isn’t these days?

What’s perhaps more interesting is we were adopting AI while we rebranded the company, moved to a new tech stack, and accelerated our transformation from product to platform. Along the way we had some spectacular failures, as well as some meaningful contributions we could not have achieved without AI. Join the session to gain a CMO’s perspective on AI for cyber marketing across all critical marketing functions.

Benchmarks can inform planning, budget conversations, and performance expectations—but their usefulness depends on how closely they reflect your business.

This session will examine marketing benchmarks relevant to the leaders in the room, with attention to company stage, resources, and go-to-market model. We’ll explore what the data can tell you, where comparisons need context, and how to use benchmarks to ask better questions about your own performance.

Come ready to consider how external data can support investment decisions and more productive conversations with your executive team.

What would make this community useful to you after today?

We’ll close the CyberCMO Summit with an open conversation about the support, connections, and shared learning marketing leaders want throughout the year. Bring your ideas for topics to tackle, ways to exchange advice, and opportunities to help one another.

Your input will help shape what comes next for the community.
