Join SCC and guest speaker Chelsea Jarvie, Founder & CEO of Neon Guard and one of the Top 50 Inspiring Women in Tech UK, for an intimate dinner exploring how empathy can shape stronger, more resilient cyber strategies.
Chelsea will share stories and insights from her work at the intersection of cybersecurity, inclusion, and AI, exploring how empathy, trust and human impact can redefine resilience across public services.
This exclusive event brings together CISOs and senior IT leaders from across Scotland to share ideas, experiences, and challenges — all over a three-course dinner and whisky tasting at the iconic Johnnie Walker Experience.
Together, we’ll explore how putting people at the heart of security — from citizen trust to frontline wellbeing — can drive lasting change across Scotland’s public sector.
