Testing the Limits of Possibility

We are at the ground floor of a new innovation curve—the breakthrough of modern AI—that blows past previous limits of what’s possible to build with software. This, coupled with its overlap with the mobile revolution, create an unprecedented moment, and software leaders must build a new set of practices around software development to embrace exponential increases in innovation, but without sacrificing the quality of customer experience that’s table stakes in a post-mobile world.

During this dinner we will discuss these two overlapping innovation cycles to document and explore the convergence of consumer expectations, digital transformation, and innovation in artificial intelligence. Culminating in a “call to arms,” a rally cry, for other executives across all industries and categories to think hard about their software development philosophy and how they will deliver quality customer experiences in an uncharted environment, or suffer the consequences of irrelevance.

Attended the C-Vision International CISO Dinner last night and to sum it up in one word, "Wow!" Incredibly well moderated discussion and investigation into different viewpoints. I appreciate the openness of all the attendees to share their unique experiences and perspectives. I learned a lot, had a ton of fun, and look forward to further events like this!

Recently updated my "event vendors I will NEVER work with again" list, DM me if you're interested in the names and stories. On the other hand, I want to recommend Nelson Soares and C-Vision International who are true partners to our success, and I really enjoy working with. Happy to also share the great list of vendors we liked, as there are many of them, and we've recently had the pleasure of joining wonderful events, which we immediately renewed.

The day was awesome and the evening exceeded my wildest expectations. I've never been to a dinner like that where a table with 12 CIOs/CISOs was focused exclusively on Netskope. Just fantastic.
Thank you for including me!
I look forward to the next time we have the opportunity to meet

I had the pleasure of joining the C-Vision International, Nordics CISO Council Roundtable with a wonderful group of cyber executives. We had a wonderful, insightful conversation and the whole experience was enjoyable. I made great new contacts and reconnected with existing contacts on really important topics that matter to CISO’s and all in cybersecurity. I’d highly recommend joining in any C-Vision event.
