About this event

DefCamp returns for its 16th edition and if you’re responsible for cybersecurity decisions at your organization, this is where you need to be.

For over a decade, DefCamp has been Central and Eastern Europe’s most important cybersecurity gathering. It’s where cutting-edge research meets real-world operational challenges, where executive decisions get pressure-tested against technical reality, and where the community comes together to push the boundaries of what’s possible in infosec.

In 2026, we’re raising the bar again: sharper executive dialogue, deeper technical tracks, more hands-on experiences, and a community that has never once separated the boardroom from the terminal.

DefCamp brings together 2,500+ cybersecurity professionals from 50+ countries, including the CISOs, board advisors, and decision-makers driving security investment across 700+ organizations.

Our C-level panels are built for exactly that audience. These are conversations where real strategic alignment happens: regulatory pressure gets mapped to operational response, the gap between what the board thinks security costs and what it actually takes gets addressed honestly, by people who’ve lived it.

DefCamp has always been a technical conference first. That doesn’t change. Five tracks, built for depth:
