INSPIRE::CSO

INSPIRE::CSO took place in Vienna on 7 March 2025. The focus was on the exchange between CSOs / CISOs - discussing inspiring content in an informal atmosphere that invites networking.

Mission

Together we got CSOs out of their daily routine and enabled them to think outside the box. Our speakers did an excellent job in inspiring the guests by telling about their successes and problems of in order to set the course for a new future at an early stage.
