Seattle's knowledge table: where security leaders bring what they can't solve.

The hardest security problems don't get solved in a webinar. Join CEEATTLE, Darktrace, and DigiCert in Seattle for a private CISO dinner at Goldfinch Tavern inside the Four Seasons: a working table, one timely topic in securing AI across the enterprise, and the security leaders you actually want thinking alongside you. Dinner at 6:00 pm. Seats are limited to keep the table private and candid. You'll receive a confirmation email once your seat is approved.

  • Bring the one problem you want the table to work on. You set it at registration.
  • Work it under the Chatham House Rule with peers who carry the same risk.
  • Leave with your own little black book of relevant information for your business so you can map it to your CFO, CEO, CTO, VP of IT, and security engineering.
  • Dine family style and walk away with knowledge you can use the next day.

Seattle is our home. Security leaders think here.

Every seat brings one unsolved problem. The conversation is protected, and you leave with a board-ready business case built from the room and peer-reviewed by recognized Seattle security leaders. No speakers, no sales pitches. Just peers who fight the same fight across emerging threats, agentic AI, and enterprise security.

  1. 1.Chatham House Rule

    Nothing is attributed to a person or a company. Attendees appear by logo only.

  2. 2.Sponsors are guests, not sellers.

    No pitches, demos, or panel time. A Darktrace field CISO and a DigiCert field CTO join as peers at the table.

  3. 3.Problems are surfaced anonymously.

    The table works the problem, not the person. Walk away with knowledge you can leverage.

  4. 4.The analysis is yours to take back.

    Whatever you capture is yours to keep, in your own words, the moment you walk out.
