The French cybersecurity community's annual four-day gathering in Monaco, organised around pre-booked one-to-one meetings between invited security decision-makers and vetted solution partners.
Les Assises de la Cybersecurite, historically Les Assises de la securite et des systemes d'information, is the reference annual meeting of the French information security community. It has been held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco since the early 2000s and reaches its 26th edition on 7 to 10 October 2026. The format is not an open trade show: security decision-makers attend on invitation, having declared active projects, and their schedule is built in advance from one-to-one meetings with partner vendors, interleaved with keynotes, workshops and evening networking.
The event exists to compress a year of vendor conversations into four days. A French CISO with a budget and a shortlist meets a dozen suppliers in structured slots rather than walking a floor. The organiser, DG Consultants, is part of Comexposium's one-to-one division, which runs the same matchmaking model across several sectors. The content programme carries genuine weight, particularly ANSSI's traditional opening address, but the commercial engine is the meeting schedule.
Invited decision-makers apply for a place and declare their current or upcoming projects. The organiser matches them with partners, and each side ranks preferences before the meeting grid is fixed. Attendees arrive with a personal timetable. Around that grid sit plenary keynotes, thematic workshops run by partners, an atelier programme, and the social sequence that Monaco makes possible: the dinners and late-night conversations are, by common account, where the actual relationship-building happens.
The working language is French and the audience is overwhelmingly French. This is the event's strength and its limit: it is the best single read on the French market's priorities in a given year, and it is not a pan-European gathering. Teams looking for a European or global audience go to Infosecurity Europe, it-sa or the InCyber Forum instead.
No. Decision-maker places are granted on invitation after an application in which the attendee describes active security projects. Vendors attend as paying partners. There is no general public or open trade-visitor entry.
No. Both are major French cybersecurity gatherings, but the InCyber Forum in Lille is a large open forum with tens of thousands of registrations, while Les Assises is a closed, invitation-based meeting programme in Monaco with a few hundred decision-makers.
French. Sessions, workshops and meetings run in French, and the audience is drawn almost entirely from the French market.
The Grimaldi Forum is Monaco's conference centre on the Larvotto seafront. Its scale suits the format: enough room for partner spaces and plenaries, small enough that the whole cohort circulates together across four days.
The annual reunion of the French security community, built on pre-booked one-to-one meetings rather than an open exhibition floor, which makes the guest list the real product.
Two separate paths. Decision-makers request an invitation through the participation form on the official site, describing their projects; accepted guests attend without paying a delegate fee, and the organiser reports a satisfaction rate above 98 percent on the meeting programme. Solution providers apply for partner packages, which are quoted commercially and carry the meeting quota. Partner pricing is not published.
7 to 10 October 2026 at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco, for the 26th edition.
Through a partner package sold by DG Consultants. Packages set the number of one-to-one meetings, workshop slots and hospitality entitlements. Pricing is quoted on request.
Partner spaces exist, but the schedule is built around booked meetings rather than open browsing. Attending without a meeting grid misses most of the value.
