The 2027 edition runs on 26 and 27 May. The 2026 edition drew more than 7,300 cybersecurity professionals from 97 countries. The format pairs an exhibition floor of security vendors, integrators and service providers with a conference programme running across several stages, aimed at security decision-makers rather than at researchers. ## What Cybersec Europe is for The show occupies the Benelux gap between the large national fairs. Germany has it-sa, France has the InCyber Forum and Les Assises, the United Kingdom has Infosecurity Europe: Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg have Cybersec Europe. Its Brussels location adds a second audience, since European institution staff, sector associations and public-affairs teams can attend without travel. That gives the conference programme more regulatory content than a purely commercial show of this size would normally carry. ## Who attends Cybersec Europe - Security managers and CISOs from Belgian, Dutch and Luxembourg organisations - IT decision-makers and infrastructure leads - Public sector and European institution staff with digital security responsibility - Integrators, resellers and managed security service providers - Security vendors serving the Benelux market ## How the programme is structured The exhibition floor is the base layer. Above it run conference stages covering enterprise security strategy, regulatory compliance, cloud and identity, operational technology, and incident response, with a mix of end-user case studies and vendor sessions. The show is bilingual in practice, with Dutch, French and English all present depending on speaker and audience. ## Where it sits on the European circuit Cybersec Europe is a regional show and priced accordingly. It will not substitute for it-sa if the goal is to survey every vendor in Europe, and it is not a research venue. Its argument is proximity: for a Benelux security team, two days in Brussels covers the suppliers that actually serve their market, plus the regulatory conversation that shapes their obligations. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### Is Cybersec Europe a European or a Benelux event? Benelux in audience, European in framing. The organiser reports attendance from 97 countries, but the core buying audience is Belgian, Dutch and Luxembourgish. ### Who runs the event? Jaarbeurs, the exhibition company based in Utrecht, which runs a portfolio of trade shows across the Benelux market. ### Does it cover European regulation? Yes, more than most commercial shows of its size, helped by the Brussels location and the presence of institutional attendees. It remains an exhibition first, not a policy forum: the InCyber Forum in Lille is the venue for that. ## The venue: Brussels Expo Brussels Expo sits at the Heysel plateau in the north of the city, served by metro and close to the ring road, with the European institutions roughly 30 minutes away by public transport. --- ## Editorial take *The Benelux security market's own two-day floor, close enough to the European institutions to attract policy attention without pretending to be a policy forum.* ## How to register and what it costs Visitor registration runs through the official website. Previous editions have offered free entry to qualified trade visitors registering in advance, with paid options for some conference elements and commercial packages for exhibitors. The organiser publishes 2027 terms on the registration page ahead of the event. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### When and where does the 2027 edition take place? 26 and 27 May 2027 at Brussels Expo, Brussels, Belgium. ### How many exhibitors take part? The organiser reports the professional attendance figure but did not publish an exhibitor count for the 2026 edition at the verification date. ### What languages are used? Dutch, French and English, reflecting the Belgian and Dutch audience, with English used for international speakers. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.cyberseceurope.com/ | | Organiser | https://www.jaarbeurs.nl/ | --- **Last verified:** 2026-07-29 **Next review:** 2027-01-31 **Notes:** The 7,300 attendance figure is the organiser's reported total for the 2026 edition.
