Be part of the largest CISO gathering in Europe!

The ECSO CISO Meetup 2026 is the 5th edition of an exclusive event that traditionally gathers over 200 CISOs from various European countries and sectors.

Two days of practitioner-to-practitioner exchange with Europe’s CISO community, 700+ members strong, coming together in person in Berlin. Real breach case studies shared by the CISOs who handled them. Crisis simulations that pressure-test your playbooks. Peer-tested approaches to the regulatory, technical and strategic challenges that keep you up at night.

The Meetup is fully independent and community-led, guided by CISO chairs who shape the programme around what their peers actually need. Five years in, it has become Europe’s leading forum for cybersecurity executives to connect, collaborate, and learn from each other.

Confidentiality guarantee

To enable the kind of open, high-trust discussions that make this event unique, rigorous privacy and confidentiality measures are in place. All sessions follow the Chatham House Rule: no quoting, no attribution, controlled access. You can speak freely.

What to expect

• Content delivered by CISOs, for CISOs  
• Expert sessions on the impact of EU cybersecurity policies and how to operationalise them 
• Sector-specific roundtables (e.g. OT security) 
• Direct dialogue with EU institutions and national cybersecurity authorities 
• Reverse pitching: CISOs tell vendors what they actually need, not the other way around 
• Networking dinner (Day 1) and a dedicated event platform for year-round connections

Who can attend the event?

This event is for CISOs, Deputy CISOs, and members of a CISO Office. ECSO member or not, all CISOs are welcome! Some special considerations:

• Cybersecurity Solution/Product providers: Must demonstrate internal security function responsibility (not customer-facing roles). Solution providers are invited to sponsor the CISO Meetup otherwise.
• Consultancies: limited to employees serving as internal CISOs only. External advisory roles (vCISO, fractional CISO, consulting CISOs) are excluded.

Participants cover travel and accommodation. ECSO covers all organisation costs, food and beverages for both days, including the networking dinner on Day 1.
