Digital Fight Club: Cyber

Digital Fight Club: Cyber returns iun 2026 with a national event to take place where it all started at The Granada Theater in Dallas.

This is not your father's Cybersecurity panel. This is 8 executives for the top VARs & MSSPs from around the country in a battle of wits...and wills--- putting it all on the line in front of 3 renowned CISOs and an audience of their peers in raucous debate on the top Cyber issues of the day.

We're not pulling any punches. This is the best cyber networking event you will ever go to. The most fun cyber event you will ever attend. The most educational party you've ever seen...all in one amazing evening.

So there's no pressure.

The audience get's to heckle...and vote for a winner. That's not boring. That's fun...and you might learn something or find your next client or hire your next VAR.

BONUS: By popular demand, we've added a special 5th fight for two lucky cyber tech vendors to go at it. Yes, it's a sponsorship level and NO, it's not pay for play (speaking sponsors usually don't get heckled, right?)

This year we are teaming up with the hit show The Professional CISO hosted by former DFC Fighter David Malicoat. David will be broadcasting from the After Party to capture reactions and opinions about the fights.
