A dual dynamic: threat and opportunity
Artificial intelligence is redefining the cybersecurity landscape. It accelerates the sophistication of attacks while simultaneously becoming a defensive tool. This duality compels European organizations to rethink their architectures, governance, and regulatory compliance, within a context marked by high expectations for trust and compliance.
The event centers around keynotes, 14 thematic conferences, 81 exhibitors, and 65 hands-on workshops.

Several notable figures will speak during the day:
- Clara Chappaz, Ambassador for Digital and Artificial Intelligence
- Guillaume Poupard, co-chair of the National AI and Digital Council
- Cédric O, co-founder and CEO of The Marshmallow Project

- Achille Lerpinière, Director of Information Systems for the Île-de-France Region

The closing keynote will be delivered by Édouard Geffray, Minister of National Education, who will address training and the skills needed in the era of AI usage.
Concrete themes
The conferences will tackle a range of topics: AI and democracy, generative AI and critical operations, data security and cloud challenges for local authorities, and the responsibilities of cyber leaders in the AI era.
A roundtable will specifically focus on the mutualized approach to managing cyber risks for local authorities and their suppliers in Île-de-France, illustrating the implementation of the NIS 2 directive.
Innovation and financing
More than 15 startups will showcase their solutions. The event will also host the Scale-Ups Investment Day, organized with Ryder & Davis, which will connect entrepreneurs with around a hundred investment funds and industry players.
An extension of the event to Germany is planned in Munich on June 24, 2026.
