Mindfluence is always time well spent. The format leads to real data exchange. (2024 Lake Geneva) You always get items to immediately put to use upon your return to work from every Mindfluence event. Actionable knowledge, every time. (2024 Rosemont)

Mindfluence conferences are unlike any other conferences I've attended. Rather than creating a cattle call, they keep the attendee list short and create a highly immersive experience. The format is fun, and is designed to promote dialogue and to keep attendees engaged. I look forward to participating in many more Mindfluence events!!

I have attended Mindfluence events for three years now and feel this is truly an amazing group of cybersecurity professionals who desire to attend these events to learn and share. It's almost like family! (2024 Lake Geneva) Very informative and collaborative event! Real issues were able to be shared! A learning event! (2024 Rosemont)

I attended the AI Cybersecurity Leadership Forum organized by Mindfluence in Rosemont, IL, and found it immensely valuable. The event brought together a diverse group of experts for important discussions on AI and cybersecurity. My sincere thanks to the Mindfluence team for creating this unique platform that facilitated meaningful interactions and knowledge sharing among professionals who might not otherwise cross paths. (2024 Rosemont)

Great event to meet cyber professionals in a relaxed non rushed environment. Thanks Gina and Mindfluence team for inviting.

MindFluence events provide a great opportunity to spend quality time with my peers and industry vendors. It really forges new bonds and offers great ideas to bring back to my organization.

Mindfluence events are highly informative and one-of-a-kind with its unique format. Every event I attend, I take back vast amount of knowledge while sharing my own experiences with my peers.

Where security leaders cut through the noise, share what actually works, and build relationships that matter

Mindfluence events, a nice way to influence and encourage collaboration of security minds.

Great setting and relevant topics, worth the time spent. (2024 Lake Geneva) Mindfluence puts together the most practical CISO conferences where CISOs truly talk about challenges and solutions in a collaborative environment.

Mindfluence is a great way to meet new folks in the field and learn from the community at large. (2024 Rosemont)

An intimate conference where you can meet and socialize with your CISO peers and partners. The topics and sessions are not all related to Security which makes the conference more interesting and interactive. (Lake Geneva 2024) Presenters were top and had great differing topics. The venue was great as well the refreshments. You will walk away immediately with ideas as well as peer contacts that will help you excel in your profession. Definitely would attend again. Save the date and make sure you attend the next Mindfluence AI Conference. (Rosemont 2026) Mindfluence Napa was a beautiful place where interesting sessions and meaningful conversations flowed as naturally as the wine, leaving me feeling truly refreshed. (Napa 2026)

Great format, panel discussions were awesome. Overall, great experience!

Learning and sharing with cybersecurity experts from various industries and in a very friendly setup.

My first time attending the Mindfluence Cybersecurity Forum, it was definitely a great experience. I plan to attend many more.

As an AI, I may not attend events, it's clear that this one was a success! The vibrant energy of the people, the openness of the conversations, and the vendor experience all stood out. With a venue and staff that is 'positively amazing,' it seems like everything came together beautifully. - GPT

Mindfluence is a must attend event!

Thank you for creating this opportunity to learn from my peers and leveraging the collective knowledge.

Great fun! Mindfluence - where great minds come together.

I had an amazing time with Gina and other attendees at the Mindfluence event in Napa. I liked the schedule for this event, which catered to our collective needs as Cyber and technology practitioners at the current time. Panels and discussion topics were crafted with quality and finesse in mind, and thanks to Gina and the team for making this happen. I personally learned quite a few things both during the formal & informal sessions. It was fun, engaging and entertaining event, thanks for making me a part of it.

This was my first Mindfluence event which was very well organized and provided an invaluable means by which IT professionals can upskill themselves on latest trends, technologies, and hot topics within the digital space of data security. Furthermore, the networking value-add is something that no IT professional should miss, regardless of the industry vertical represented.

Mindfluence is one of the few events where you truly are networking and learning from your peers.  Most discussions are open forum and allow input from a diverse braintrust of people.  (2024 Lake Geneva) Thank you for facilitating such a fantastic gathering. I met a lot of new people that I hope to continue in my network for years to come. I also enjoyed both participating in and listening to the panel discussions throughout. I’ll have this on my calendar for next year for sure.

Mindfluence events are a great opportunity to share with colleagues in a meaningful way. Thanks Gina for consistently engaging events! (2024 Rosemont)

I found the Mindfluence Security Conference a great use of my time. It was great sharing about a subject I care a lot about and learning from my peers. More importantly, it was very beneficial to network with industry leaders and be exposed to security vendors in a relaxed atmosphere.

Mindfluence is a great way to connect with CISO peers

Great session organized by Gina. One of the few sessions where the audience was in the right number, spaced out sessions, good time for interactive discussions, retained information and relationship building amongst delegates and vendors.

Mindfluence has done it once again - engaging and thoughtful conversations on multiple fronts in a friendly environment - well worth the time!!!

Mindfluence brings great quality events one after the other. The venues are amazing, the setting are relaxing that provide ample time for thought provoking panels and discussions with peers. I always get a lot out of these events and appreciate the entire team of Mindfluence for bringing such good topics for discussion. (Menlo 2024) One of the best events of the year, bar none! (Napa 2026)

Mindlfuence bring together the best minds of our industry and creates a high energy and collaborative networking environment where everybody gets to learn the latest advances in technology and business.

Attending the AI Cyber Security Leadership event was an enlightening and impactful experience. The discussions and presentations were incredibly insightful, providing a deep dive into the intersection of artificial intelligence and security. I particularly appreciated the practical applications shared, demonstrating how AI technologies are being leveraged to detect and respond to cyber threats more effectively.

As a CISO, attending the Mindfluence Summit was an invaluable experience. The two days were packed with cutting-edge insights from top cybersecurity leaders, and the networking opportunities were unparalleled. The engaging sessions and interactive dinner created the perfect environment to exchange ideas, connect with peers, and discover innovative solutions from some of the industry's most promising startups. It’s a must-attend event for anyone serious about staying ahead in cybersecurity.

I loved the insightful discussions and the building of great relationships.

Mindfluence CISO/Executive Leadership Event brought together industry leaders for real talk on leadership, innovation, and resilience. The insights were game-changing—especially the fireside chats and peer networking. Easily one of the most valuable cybersecurity event I’ve attended. I left energized, informed, and more connected than ever.

Learned exciting insights, and met wonderful people!

Very interesting people and speakers. Gina did an amazing job in organizing this, you can see her personal touch and care in all aspects of the conference. Her events stand out, I am looking forward to more: very impressive.

Nothing can match your energy of keeping things going during every event. I appreciate the efforts you all put into this to make it a great experience for every participant. It is also great to see how you change things up every year. (Napa 2025)

Mindfluence is a small, intimate conference that delivers the content, networking opportunities, and educational value of much larger conferences without having to deal with large volumes of attendees. Definitely worth attending future events.

This was an incredibly valuable use of my time. I was able to bring several nuggets back with me to my day job. I will definitely attend again.

I found the experience of networking and learning from practitioners in different parts of the country very insightful. There is definitely a different type of influence and cultural nuances from organizations in a particular local that shape experiences and lessons learned. Being able to get their perspectives helps for us to be more well-rounded and aware.

An excellent, mix of valuable insights, technical discussion, fun and networking.

Great minds at a great place to create a great future!

It's a well organized event with good content and networking!

The Menlo Park 2024 Mindfluence tech drop was an amazing experience as we got to connect with some of smartest and most innovative companies and their leaders. We got a sense of where the industry is headed and how AI is reshaping enterprise security. This is a absolute must attend for any leader who wants to quickly check in on the pulse of innovation in the valley!

I've been to many cybersecurity forums such as 1-day seminars, webinars and full-week events, but the Mindfluence event was one of the best 1-day seminars I've attended - fantastic topics, speakers, and vendors.

Attending the Mindfluence Conference was an absolute pleasure! This event was incredibly well-curated, combining thought-provoking industry topics with unique experiences that truly made it stand out. There’s no other conference where you can discuss the latest in security & tech, savor exquisite wines, enjoy fine dining, and cap it off with a round of golf to deepen connections. The personal touch Gina brings is exceptional, setting Mindfluence apart from any other networking event I have attended. Thank you!

Mindfluence brought together thought leaders sharing how AI is being adopted in their industry.

Wonderful event that is right size and a great place to network! Delegates share the real issues, not the latest cyber marketing hype.

I was not able to attend the event in it's entirety but the time I was there it was amazing. The discussions where on point and brought great value.

Amazing sessions and camaraderie! A must-attend event!

Great event to learn, network and help problem solve with local IT leaders who are currently or have tackled some of the ever evolving cybersecurity challenges.

I found Mindfluence to be the most relevant event I had attended all year. The networking opportunities with my Milwaukee and Chicago peers was excellent and the content was dialed in on what senior cybersecurity leaders need.

Thank you again for a wonderful event! Hands down one of the best security conferences I've been to. And I have been to a lot over the years. Great content, great speakers. Kudos!

Great speakers and sessions and very meaningful networking opportunities

The smaller, intimate atmosphere led to a more meaningful experience.

Mindfluence brought together some of the leading executives in cybersecurity leadership positions. The discussions were forward-thinking, the presenters were outstanding, and the networking opportunities will have a lasting impact on my professional growth.

I loved the intimate setting--far from the office--where we can connect and share lessons and best practices.

This style of event was a refreshing change from larger conferences. Gina is exceptional at curating and delivering a valuable experience for all parties!

Excellent content and fun attendees! This is a relaxed and educational conference that drives quality conversation and learning opportunities.

I had a wonderful time. I learned a lot. The vendors were kind and not intrusive. Really one of the best events for IT cyber leaders I have been to in a very long time. I hope to attend again. Thank you!

On a scale of 1-10, how likely are you to attend another Mindfluence Event? 10! - Great day and wonderful event 🙂

The Mindfluence Denver event was incredibly insightful and thought-provoking. I have continued the conversations had at the event with my colleagues and used them as discussion points in my ongoing interactions with others in the field.

The Mindfluence Annual Cybersecurity Forum in Napa was outstanding. The presentations were exceptionally informative, and the timeline was perfectly paced. The venue was excellent, and the casual, easy-going atmosphere created an ideal environment for networking. What truly made this event special was the quality of connections - meeting incredible new colleagues while reconnecting with industry peers. The afternoon activity break remains a key differentiator that sets Mindfluence apart. I highly recommend these events to any cybersecurity professional looking to learn and connect.

It was a great first event with Mindfluence, appreciate you letting Red Canary be a part of it!!

It was a positive experience and I think the whole program was good. The low key networking part along with the interesting questions on the panels make this a great experience for all that attend.

Fantastic group of leaders attended Mindfluence! Great perspective on the ever-changing landscape in cyber security.

Mindfluence is a small group of security professionals sharing best practices and building relationships that will better protect the communities they serve. Anyone sharpening their security strategy, seeking to learn from top-tier professionals in the security world will benefit from attending.

Always one of my favorite events each year... always look forward to Mindfluence.

Great opportunity to spend time with your peers both discussing common issues and challenges and getting to better know each other. I am already looking forward to next year.

Keep doing what you're doing. It was a terrific experience. Mindfluence is a rare gem.  If you wish to gain unique insight into and participate in the security concerns of today's landscape at the highest level, get yourself to this event. - Napa 2024

Great format. Busy, but not rushed. 1:1 thinned the crowd, but didn't empty the room. Panels are much better than speakers. Well done.

Well done. We will be going again next year, if invited.

Great food and networking! Great job Gina and Todd!

Gina and Todd are the best hosts!

This is a one-of-a-kind event that provides vendors with the opportunity to engage with security executives, listen to thought-provoking panel discussions, and then engage in meaningful 1:1 discussions. (2024 Rosemont)

Mindfluence differs from city and suburban events when people can come and go as they please. Being at a resort we were all locked in together for 2 great days like being on a cruise ship.

Gina brought together an incredibly valuable cohort of brainpower under one roof that will help move the needle across the board.

Overall great first experience with Mindfluence and will be recommending future events to our team.

Really enjoyed the event. Great set of cyber professionals for us to connect with. Looking forward to the next one! - (Napa 2025) Mindfluence events are not only educational and informative, but they also build an awesome sense of community among security professionals. Attendees really lean into a day full of thoughtful and engaging speakers, which makes the day feel worth the time commitment. - (Denver 2025) Mindfluence Napa provides a unique opportunity to learn, network, and have fun with your peers.
