Lead the defense. Shape what’s next.
Some security conversations can’t happen on stage. They happen among peers — in trusted, closed-door forums where strategy can be challenged openly.
On June 9, Google Cloud invites a select group of CISOs to the CISO Connect DACH 2026, an invitation-only gathering during Google Cloud Summit Frankfurt.
This experience includes:
- AI-Driven Threat Insight: Intelligence from Google security experts.
- Closed-Door CISO Exchange: Real conversations on real challenges.
- Resilience at Scale: Strategies for securing cloud, data, and AI.
- A Trusted Network: Build relationships that last beyond the Summit.
Registration includes full access to the Google Cloud Summit Frankfurt on June 9–10. Click here for the full Summit details.

FAQs
Can I attend CISO Connect without joining the Summit?
Yes, you can attend the CISO Connect as a standalone event. However, please note that the keynote takes place earlier at the Summit (Messe Frankfurt), and we highly recommend attending both for the full experience.
When and where does the CISO Connect take place?
The CISO Connect begins at 3:30 PM in Studio 1, located within the same venue as the Google Cloud Summit DACH (Messe Frankfurt, Hall 3). Following the keynote, please follow the signs for Studio 1.
Do I need separate badges for the CISO Connect and the Summit?
No — your Summit badge grants access to both CISO Connect and the Google Cloud Summit across both days (June 9–10). Please keep your badge with you at all times, as it is required for entry to all sessions, venues, and shuttle services.
