Executive Leadership Exchange

For Qualified Executives Only

The Executive Leadership Exchange (ELE) is an executive program for up to 50 qualified Security & Risk executives. The program will create a private senior executive network supporting leaders’ priorities, demonstrate Forrester’s thought leadership tailored to qualified c-suite executives​, and offer rich, facilitated networking sessions and peer case studies targeting best practices aligned to executive priorities.​

ELE is an invite-only program. To be considered, those interested must be the CISO, CRO, or senior-most security or risk leader from their organization, not reporting into any higher executive with direct security or risk responsibility. Applicants cannot be representatives from direct security provider organizations that sell security and risk products or services. Attendees who may meet these qualifications will be invited to join the ELE experience.
