The ECSO CISO Meetup 2025- Valencia

The ECSO CISO Meetup 2025 is set to take place on 23-24 September 2025, at the Museo de las Ciencias Príncipe Felipe in Valencia, in Spain  (📍Ciudad de las Artes y de las Ciencias, Av. del Professor López Piñero, 7, 46013 Valencia, Spain). 

ECSO CISO Meetup 2025 is the 4th edition of an exclusive event that traditionally gathers over 200 CISOs from various European countries and sectors. The main objective remains fostering collaboration among cybersecurity executives, recognising that this synergy is crucial for enhancing the cybersecurity posture of European organisations. More than just an event, the goal is to continue building a durable network where CISOs can exchange insights and advocate their needs within the European cybersecurity ecosystem. 

Distinct from other CISO events, the ECSO CISO Meetup remains fully independent, non-profit, and driven by the chairs of our network of European CISOs, united by shared interests and commitment to advancing cybersecurity.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

• The participation of 200 CISOs from 29 European countries. 

• CISO presentations on vital cybersecurity topics with European perspective.

• Realistic Threat Scenario Workshops. 

• Expert sessions on the impact of the EU cybersecurity policies.

Rigorous measures will be implemented to ensure the utmost privacy and confidentiality, and all discussions will adhere to the principles of the Chatham House Rules, safeguarding the identities and statements of participants.
