1) WHAT'S AN EXCHANGE ?

IQPC's CISO Exchange events are unlike the traditional trade-show/conference. Exchange events are boutique initiatives exclusive to 40 enterprise CISOs and 20 solution provider companies; that's it. This format gives you the opportunity to have qualified, prearranged, one-to-one private meetings to conduct business on a peer-to-peer level. No booth space, no expo hall.
