A panel series in Seattle, running since 2024.

Smart Cookies runs about 90 minutes, in person, in Seattle: a 45 to 60 minute panel, then questions from the floor. There is no presentation deck and no vendor pitch, panels are by invitation only. A moderator leads the panel through a real topic, the kind that does not have a clean answer yet. The room is mostly senior and mostly practitioners: security and risk leaders, product and AI builders, privacy and legal officers, board members, founders, all willing to say what they actually think. We close with a hosted gathering so the conversation can continue.
