Geneva Cyber Week 2026: Shaping the future of cybersecurity and diplomacy

Geneva Cyber Week 2026 will take place from 4 to 8 May 2026 in Geneva, Switzerland, under the overarching theme ‘Advancing Global Cooperation in Cyberspace’.

Organised by the UN Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) and the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA), the event will bring together stakeholders from governments, international organisations, industry, academia, and civil society to discuss the latest developments, challenges, and opportunities in cybersecurity.

Discussions will cover topics such as cyber norms and international cooperation, AI governance and regulation, critical infrastructure protection, cyber capacity building, incident response, and the security implications of emerging technologies, including AI and quantum computing.

In addition to thematic sessions, the agenda includes practical exercises, tabletop simulations, exhibitions, and networking formats designed to foster dialogue between policy, technical, and operational communities.
