Key topics
Here’s what to expect across key topics
Six tracks across software pipelines, AI and agentic systems, quantum readiness, vendor risk, hardware, and the policy that binds them.
Software supply chain & pipeline security
SBOM, CI/CD hardening, open source risk, signing and attestation — the path from source to production stays visible and tamper-evident.
AI & agentic supply chain security
Models, datasets, AIBOM, AgBOM, MCP servers and agent identity — provenance when the artifact is weights, and when software starts acting on your behalf.
Quantum & post-quantum readiness
QBOM, PQC migration, crypto agility — inventorying algorithms and planning the cutover before quantum breaks today’s signatures.
Third-party & vendor risk
Supplier assurance that survives an audit and a real incident — questionnaires that die, evidence that sticks, and shared accountability.
Hardware, cryptography & infrastructure
HBOM, CBOM, firmware, silicon and crypto modules — the physical and cryptographic layers under every software supply chain.
Policy, regulation & standards
EU CRA, NIS2, secure-by-design pledges, procurement language and the standards bodies writing the next round of requirements.
Partners
Funded by vendors, programmed by practitioners
Sponsors keep the event free and get clearly-labelled slots of their own. They have no say over the CFP, the judges, who is admitted, or any other session.

Why this format
A reviewed room. No public recordings.
That combination is what lets speakers talk about real incidents — vendors named, configs shown, failures described honestly — instead of sanitised case studies.
You apply to attend
We review every application and balance the room. Practitioners who work this problem are welcome; sales prospecting is not.
There is no ticket
Sponsors cover production. Attending is free so the exclusivity is who is in the room — not who can pay.
Recordings stay private
Sessions are recorded for confirmed attendees only. Nothing is posted publicly, handed to sponsors, or put on YouTube.
