Featuring Executive Dinners, Networking Events, and Summits Across Key North American Markets

BOSTON — TechTalk Summits and Data Connectors announced today a strategic partnership to produce invite-only executive dinners, networking events, and summits across key North American markets. The collaboration pairs Data Connectors’ long-standing cybersecurity community with TechTalk Summit’s premium, intimate venue formats to create practical conversations for senior IT executives and CxO security leaders.

The partnership combines over 50 years of collective experience producing and hosting national and international conferences and events that provide opportunities for technology professionals to interact with companies leading the way on innovations that are vital to the enterprise. The collaboration combines the strengths of each company’s proven event format and their respective leadership positions in producing content and sponsorships in settings that foster networking and meaningful connections.

“Senior leaders want less noise and more signal,” said Dawn Morrissey, Founder, Data Connectors. “Together, we’re putting the right people at the same table but with tight agendas, real discussion, and follow-through that actually moves work forward.”

San Diego CXO oyster event drew a captive crowd for sponsors.

“This partnership brings a trusted community into formats that consistently deliver value,” said Joe Healy, Managing Partner at TechTalk Summits. “Short spark talks, curated roundtables, premium venues and warm introductions—city after city. It’s a simple playbook that works.”

The partnership offers executive attendees networking opportunities in exclusive restaurants and Soho Houses, at major sporting events, with bespoke experiences from whiskey and wine tastings to curated dinners with Michelin star chefs. Attendees are welcome to engage with peers from large enterprises as well as meet sponsors through curated table talks and warm introductions. The partnership preserves the intimacy that quality leaders prefer with event formats designed for major metros throughout North America.

Suite formats at major league sporting events attract C-level executives.

Together, both companies create an experience that delivers genuine value for everyone involved— executives gain significant insights and trusted connections, sponsors engage with qualified decision-makers in authentic conversations, and the broader market benefits from high-caliber events that blend scale with exclusivity. It’s a partnership designed to elevate engagement and strengthen community.
