What Others are Saying

"It is unlike any other security conference or summit I have ever been to. The discussion and networking with other CISOs are a learning experience for all attendees and a community of CISOs to leverage in the future."

Paul Scheib

CISO and Vice President | Boston Children's Hospital

“The 229 CISO Summit is an exceptional event. The investment of time is well worth it, as the opportunities for networking and the exchange of ideas are truly invaluable. The conversations were informative and I was able to take back ideas for my organization. The relaxed atmosphere fosters a close-knit environment where colleagues can come together, share, and learn from one another. I've been able to stay in contact with many attendees on a variety of topics discussed during the summit, which has been beneficial to our organization.”

Jigar Kadakia

VP & CISO | Emory Healthcare

"The 229 forum was an outstanding opportunity for me to connect with other industry leaders in healthcare. I found the environment, facilitation and engagement to be absolutely excellent. Strongly recommended!"

Stuart Samples

CTO | Northeast Georgia Health System

“I get more value in two days of the 229 Summit events than going to multiple large conferences combined.”

Brad Reimer

Chief Information Officer | Sanford Health

Why 229?

With the first confirmed COVID-19 case on February 29th in the United States came grief, confusion, and an overwhelming burden on our healthcare system.

229 Groups were founded on the belief that bringing health IT leaders into small, intentional conversations could propel the continuation of the type of innovation and collaboration we saw happen post February 29th.

What makes at 229 Meeting distinct:

Small Groups / Dynamic Discussions
Limited Topics allow you to drill down with your peers on relevant challenges
Facilitated Peer-to-Peer interaction
Fantastic settings for a great retreat, bring your plus one
Emphasis on relationship building
