Definition

Infosecurity Europe is the annual information security exhibition and conference held in London, organised by RX, formerly Reed Exhibitions. The 2027 edition runs from 8 to 10 June at ExCeL London, opening at 09:30 daily and closing at 17:30 on the first two days and 16:00 on the final day. The 2026 edition, held from 2 to 4 June, reported more than 13,000 unique visitors and in excess of 400 exhibiting companies, with a conference programme of more than 200 sessions across keynote stages, technical theatres and workshops.

What Infosecurity Europe is for

It is the annual stocktake of the British security market. Vendors launch and reposition here, analysts run their briefings around it, recruiters work the floor, and UK CISOs use three days to compress a year of supplier conversations. The conference programme is free with entry, which distinguishes it from the research conferences where content sits behind a high ticket price, and shifts the economics onto exhibitors.

Who attends Infosecurity Europe

How the programme is structured

The exhibition covers the main hall, organised by vendor category and with dedicated zones for early-stage companies. Content runs in parallel theatres: keynote stages for strategy and threat outlook, technical theatres for practitioner sessions, and smaller workshop spaces. Sessions are free with the visitor badge. A separate leadership and invitation-only programme runs alongside for senior security executives.

How it compares with Black Hat Europe

The two largest London security events are opposites, held in the same halls six months apart. Black Hat Europe in December is research-led, expensive and small, and its value is the technical content. Infosecurity Europe in June is exhibition-led, free and large, and its value is market coverage and volume of meetings. Security teams typically send different people to each.

FAQ · Identity and audience

Is Infosecurity Europe free to attend?

Entry and the conference programme are free for qualified trade visitors who register in advance. The organiser had not published the 2027 registration terms at the verification date, but this has been the model for years.

Is it a UK or a European event?

The name says Europe and the exhibitor list is international, but the visiting audience is predominantly British. Continental buyers more often attend it-sa in Nuremberg or their national show.

What happens outside the exhibition?

An unofficial fringe of vendor parties, analyst dinners and community meetups fills the evenings across east and central London, and for many attendees carries as much value as the floor.

The venue: ExCeL London

ExCeL London sits in the Royal Docks in east London, served by the Elizabeth line and DLR, and hosts both Infosecurity Europe in June and Black Hat Europe in December.

Editorial take

The UK security market's annual meeting point, three days where the whole vendor field, the analyst community and the British CISO cohort are in one hall.

How to register and what it costs

Visitor registration opens on the official website ahead of the event and has historically been free for qualified professionals, covering the exhibition and all conference theatres. Exhibitor packages are quoted by RX based on stand size and position. Registration interest for 2027 can be filed on the event site before general registration opens.
