The success of the 2026 Information Security Summit is a direct reflection of the remarkable people and organizations who dedicated their time, expertise, and resources to making it possible. As Executive Director, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed to this year’s event. Bringing together security professionals, industry leaders, educators, and practitioners from across our community would not have been possible without your commitment and support.

To our sponsors, thank you for investing in the advancement of the information security profession. Your financial support, partnership, and engagement helped us deliver a high-quality conference experience while providing attendees with valuable opportunities to learn about emerging technologies, services, and solutions. Your continued commitment to the cybersecurity community plays an important role in strengthening knowledge sharing, professional development, and collaboration across our industry.

To our speakers, thank you for generously sharing your expertise, insights, and experiences. Whether presenting technical research, discussing leadership challenges, exploring emerging threats, or sharing lessons learned from real-world security programs, your contributions created meaningful learning opportunities for every attendee. The quality and depth of this year’s sessions reinforced the value of our conference and helped inspire new ideas and stronger security practices throughout our profession.

I would also like to recognize my fellow volunteers and planning committee members. Months of preparation, countless meetings, attention to detail, and a willingness to step forward whenever help was needed ensured that every aspect of the event ran smoothly. Our dedication behind the scenes is the foundation upon which every successful ISS conference has been built. The professionalism, teamwork, and unwavering commitment to excellence of our volunteers is truly appreciated.

As we celebrate the success of this year’s event, we are already looking forward to an important milestone. Our 2027 Information Security Summit will mark our 25th Anniversary, a significant achievement made possible by the many individuals and organizations who have supported our mission over the years. We invite everyone to join us October 27-29, 2027, in Westlake, Ohio, as we honor our past, celebrate our community, and look ahead to the future of information security. We hope to see you there as we commemorate 25 years of learning, collaboration, and leadership.
