The Intimate Executive Assembly
An exclusive retreat for cybersecurity & technology leaders. It begins at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, then sets sail on an all-inclusive five-day executive assembly aboard Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas.
Why This Retreat
The Cyber Executive Retreat was created to give all cybersecurity professionals the education and experiences typically reserved for Fortune 200 security executives.
We intentionally created an agenda with timely subjects in both personal and professional development, in an environment tailored to learning and networking. Attendees come away with world-class information on critical topics, learn to further their careers, and develop professional connections for life.
Even better, it's all at an all-inclusive cost that is on par with, or less than, other cybersecurity events.
