Critical Infrastructure Protection & Resilience Europe takes place in Brussels, Belgium on 20th to 22nd October 2026 and brings together leading stakeholders from industry, infrastructure operators, agencies and governments to collaborate on securing Europe’s infrastructure. The conference will build on previous themes by deepening understanding of emerging threats and vulnerabilities, and by supporting the development and implementation of frameworks for risk-management, strategic planning and resilient operations. 

Why Attend

Are you up to date on the CER and NIS2 Directives and what they mean to you and your organisation?Attacks on critical infrastructure sites are now a fact of life not simply a potential threat. Power stations, chemical plants, nuclear facilities are routinely targeted by cyber-attacks, the most successful so far being the Ukraine power outage that caused 225,000 customers to lose electricity. Last year an activist landed a UAV carrying small traces of radiation on the roof of the Japanese Premier’s office and this year a UAV collided with a aircraft at London’s Heathrow airport. And of course the terrible attacks on the metro and airport in Brussels. This is just the start of what we can expect to be the repeated targeting of our critical infrastructure. The potential effects not only in terms of loss of life but also in terms of damage to infrastructure, economic disruption and costs, can be enormous.
