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. ## What Les Assises is for 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. ## Who attends Les Assises - CISOs and heads of information security from French large accounts and mid-caps - CIOs, technical directors, network and infrastructure managers - Risk managers and data protection officers - Security vendors, integrators and managed service providers as paying partners - French public-sector and agency representatives, including ANSSI ## How the format actually works 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. ## Language and reach 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. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### Is Les Assises open to anyone who registers? 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. ### Is it the same event as the Forum InCyber? 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. ### What language is used? French. Sessions, workshops and meetings run in French, and the audience is drawn almost entirely from the French market. ## The venue: Grimaldi Forum Monaco 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. --- ## Editorial take *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.* ## How to register and what it costs 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. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### When and where is the 2026 edition? 7 to 10 October 2026 at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco, for the 26th edition. ### How does a vendor take part? 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. ### Is there an exhibition floor to walk? 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. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.lesassisesdelacybersecurite.com/ | | Decision-maker invitation request | https://www.lesassisesdelacybersecurite.com/fr-FR/invites/demande-de-participation | | Venue | https://www.grimaldiforum.com/ | --- **Last verified:** 2026-07-29 **Next review:** 2026-09-15 **Notes:** Edition count and dates follow the organiser and the Grimaldi Forum calendar.
