Programme Overview

The CYBERUK 2026 programme will be full of opportunities to learn, explore, and engage with leading UK and international experts.

• Plenaries - All delegates can attend in our 3000 seater auditorium to hear the key conversations that bring together a range of UK and international cyber leaders from across government, industry and academia to discuss the event theme The Next Decade Accelerating our Cyber Defence.

• Tech Talks - In person, technical talks aimed at experienced practitioners. Led by experts in their fields, these advanced briefings will provide insight into some of the latest thinking and research into our most pressing current and future technical challenges. The sessions will illuminate research, providing detailed analysis and actionable conclusions.

• Resilience Track - How can the UK strengthen its resilience to the cyber challenges of the next decade? This track explores rapid-response frameworks, real-time threat sharing and the partnerships that can defend our most critical infrastructure - alongside the policy and legislative changes needed to enable defence at pace and scale. It aims to equip cyber defenders with the knowledge to guard, build resilience and recover following an incident.

• Technology track - Technology moves fast - our policy and practice must move faster. This track examines innovations, governance and standards that can accelerate secure digital transformation. Delegates will explore proven solutions, the tradeoffs, and how to embed enduring security for the decade ahead.

• Threat track - Our adversaries are agile, adaptive and global. This track focuses on accelerating our ability to identify, analyse and anticipate threats from state actors and cybercriminals - turning intelligence into defensive advantage. Sessions will share insight into emerging risks and vulnerabilities from leading UK and international experts.

• Ecosystem Track - Strong cyber defence depends on people, partnerships and trust. This track explores how we grow our future workforce, develop robust standards and assurance, and build a thriving, secure marketplace of services and innovators ready for tomorrow’s challenges.

• Interactive Workshops - As the cyber landscape shifts, solutions must be shaped in real time. Developed by government and industry sponsors, these sessions will explore live challenges, share strategies, and co develop approaches that strengthen our collective defence at pace.

• CISO Track - A closed invite-only track designed specifically for the CISO community. Sessions are scheduled to ensure invitees can participate in parts of the main agenda relevant to them while offering sessions that are crafted and convened by NCSC for this important cohort of thought leaders from across the cyber ecosystem.

• Spotlight Stage - The Lightning Talks take place on the Spotlight Stage in the Expo during the morning, afternoon and lunchtime breaks. These are 5-minute, bite-size shots of inspiration, single-speaker, single-idea, solution-focused practitioner or research-led presentations. Delivered by delegates, curated by the NCSC.
