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.
