The it-sa Cyber Thought Leaders Dialogue 2026

As the HOME OF IT SECURITY, it-sa has been Europe’s largest and one of the world’s two most important trade fairs for cybersecurity for many years. In 2026, it will continue to expand its role. With over 1,000 exhibitors from more than 60 countries and around 30,000 trade visitors, new records are expected once again.

This year’s edition also marks a strategically pivotal moment. With the it-sa Cyber Thought Leaders Dialogue, we are developing a new conference format specifically for top-level strategic decision-makers from politics, government, industry, defense, and research—with an explicitly European focus. Under the theme “From Compliance to Capability – Europe’s Turning Point,” it-sa will be officially opened on October 27, 2026, as part of an exclusive opening event. The conference will focus on the question of how Europe can translate existing compliance frameworks into sustainable strategic cyber capabilities: institutionally, technologically, industrially, and socially.

Look forward to high-level political insights, strategic discussions on Europe’s key cybersecurity challenges, and the opportunity to exchange ideas with leading European decision-makers from business, politics, government, and the public sector.
