Two connected days

The final programme will remain responsive to developments in cybersecurity, AI, privacy and robotics.

Day 1

Cybersecurity, AI Security & Digital Trust

Technologies, threats, decisions and human factors shaping trust in an AI-enabled world.

  • Emerging risks and practitioner perspectives
  • AI security and AI-enabled threats
  • Privacy, OSINT and digital identity
  • Critical infrastructure and industrial resilience
  • Fraud and protection of vulnerable users
  • Governance, policy and international cooperation
Day 2

Robotics, Autonomous Systems & Secure Deployment

Moving intelligent machines from promising demonstrations to safe, useful deployment.

  • Assistive and elderly-care robotics
  • Industrial, inspection and offshore robotics
  • Service robots, humanoids and quadrupeds
  • Cybersecurity of connected robotic systems
  • Safety, data and regulatory readiness
  • Nordic testing and pilot opportunities

Human and organisational readiness

Across both days, VernCon will explore the judgement, adaptability, trust, leadership and organisational capacities needed to navigate increasingly intelligent and autonomous technologies responsibly.

Detailed session topics will be confirmed closer to the conference so that the discussions remain current and practically relevant.

Speakers

International expertise and practical perspectives

The programme will combine recognised voices with practitioners, researchers, policymakers, technology providers and real-world users.

Cybersecurity

Practitioners, defenders, researchers and communicators.

Privacy & OSINT

Digital identity, exposure and practical privacy.

AI safety & security

Frontier capabilities, governance and deployment risks.

Robotics

Founders, manufacturers, integrators and users.

Industry & infrastructure

Operational owners and implementation leaders.

Healthcare & care technology

Needs, dignity, safety and adoption.

Policy & research

European and Nordic institutional perspectives.

Human readiness

Leadership, trust and organisational change.

Confirmed speakers will be announced progressively after written acceptance. Invited or prospective contributors will not be presented as confirmed speakers.

Policy and implementation

Dialogue across technology, public institutions and real-world users

The responsible deployment of AI, cybersecurity technologies and robotics requires dialogue between innovators, users, researchers, regulators and public institutions.

VernCon intends to invite European and Nordic contributors working across digital policy, cybersecurity, AI governance, privacy, product safety, research, standardisation and technology implementation.

Partner with VernCon

Focused partnerships, curated exhibition

VernCon is seeking a limited number of organisations relevant to cybersecurity, AI, robotics, digital trust and responsible deployment.

Partnerships

Strategic, technology, supporting, dinner, research, ecosystem, media and community partnerships.

Technology forum

Approximately 10–15 compact professional demonstration spaces designed for meaningful interaction rather than a large trade show.

Programme independence

Sponsorship and programme participation will be managed separately. Commercial support will not provide control over programme conclusions or guarantee an independent keynote.

Planned attendance options

Flexible ways to take part

Final inclusions, prices, refund conditions and availability will be announced after venue, accommodation and tax arrangements are confirmed.

Conference access

  • One-day passes
  • Two-day passes
  • Conference plus Day 1 dinner
  • Selected academic or student access

International participation

  • Limited hotel-inclusive packages
  • Hosted participation options under consideration
  • Accommodation subject to separate availability

Invitation documentation

Eligible, fully paid international participants may request official conference documentation. This does not constitute visa sponsorship or guarantee approval. Decisions remain with the relevant authorities.

Optional post-conference experience

Discover Norway after VernCon

International participants may have the opportunity to join a separately booked Norwegian fjord-and-rail experience after the conference.

The final itinerary will depend on conference dates, participant interest and arrangements with an authorised travel provider.

  • Entirely optional and participant-funded
  • Separate booking and cancellation terms
  • One-day and overnight interest under evaluation
  • Accompanying-person participation may be considered
