GCF Annual Meeting 2026
About the event
The Global Cybersecurity Forum holds its 2026 annual meeting in Riyadh on 7 and 8 October, under the theme of institutionalizing adaptive collaborations in cyberspace, bringing together decision-makers and experts from around the world to advance a safer and more resilient cyberspace.
The programme for this edition is structured around five pillars covering every dimension of cyberspace: geopolitical, social, economic, behavioural and technical. This year's theme continues a progression that carried the meeting from strategic thinking and shared priority-setting into delivering initiatives and widening participation, and now turns to embedding durable, system-level cooperation that outlasts individual initiatives and responds to a fast-changing cyber landscape. It is aimed at government and private sector representatives, cybersecurity leaders, researchers and non-governmental organisations.
Attendance is free. Registration has not opened yet, and the organiser has said that registration details will follow on the forum's website.
