ISF World Congress, Milan 2026
Gain real-world knowledge and best practice from peers tackling the same challenges you face, in a way no other event makes possible.
For decades, ISF World Congress has been the global gathering for leaders shaping the future of cyber, information security and risk management. We continue that tradition in Milan, bringing together senior executives and cyber visionaries to exchange the real experiences that define how organisations manage risk and build resilience in the year ahead.
This year’s keynote line-up brings fresh perspectives from beyond cyber: leaders who’ve performed under extreme pressure, redefined their fields and challenged how we think about leadership, data and the future.

ISF Membership gives you access to Congress and the year-round research, peer networks, and practical tools that support your team long after the event.
Members work through trusted forums to tackle the challenges they can’t solve internally. The connections you make in Milan last well beyond Congress: building a personal network to call upon when it matters most, and establishing yourself as a recognised expert in your field.
