Scandinavia's Premier Conference on Cybersecurity, Privacy & OT/IT Security
📅 August 31 - September 1, 2026 | 📍 Oslo Kongressenter (Folkets Hus), Oslo

Connect with 150+ CISOs, security practitioners, and compliance officers from across Scandinavia. Share challenges, solutions, and build lasting professional relationships.
Gain insights from Norwegian security authorities, leading practitioners, and international thought leaders on OT/IT security, incident response, privacy, and cyber resilience.
