NightDragon 2027 planning

Keep the next NightDragon summit calm from the first venue conversation

Brief for Sarah Kuranda Vallone

Why this matters now

The 2026 Innovation Summit has wrapped, and the 2027 Innovation Summit is already on file for March 23, 2027.

This is the right window to align on scope, venue needs, decision timing, and whether any CEO Summit planning should run alongside or separately from the Innovation Summit.

What NightDragon can use

A practical 2027 planning reset after the 2026 event.
Venue sourcing support before options and holds get tight.
Continuity from a known partner who understands NightDragon's summit rhythm.
A clean way to compare Innovation Summit needs with any CEO Summit considerations.
