The Compass Summit

 

The Compass Summit convenes cyber leaders from the world’s leading companies to elevate cyber resilience as a strategic business priority. As part of this mission, we expose cyber executives to senior policy and business leadership. This will be our third annual meeting, and we are immensely proud of how this community has grown quickly to become a leading voice in the ecosystem.

This year, we will build upon the macro-landscape discussions from 2023, shifting focus towards the changing business environment and delving deeper into the evolving landscape of governance, artificial intelligence and the evolving role of the cyber leader. Hence, the theme for this year's summit will be “Resilience in an Age of Distrust."

The summit will commence with a welcome dinner on the evening of July 29th, followed by sessions on Tuesday, July 30th, and Wednesday, July 31st, at the Royal Lancaster Hotel.

Recently refurbished, the hotel is in a prime location adjacent to Hyde Park and is conveniently situated within walking distance of our dinner venues—the world-famous Kensington Palace and the iconic Serpentine North Gallery. This combination promises a truly distinctive 'campus' experience in the heart of West London.

We invite you to review the Summit Brochure to understand better what awaits you at the 2024 Summit.

 

Venue: The Royal Lancaster, Hyde Park

Date: July 29th - 31st 2024
