Where Cybersecurity Leaders Connect and Decide What’s Next

This is not a typical conference.

Next IT Security Stockholm brings together a carefully selected group of cybersecurity leaders to share real experiences, challenge ideas and build meaningful connections — without noise, without sales pitches, and without wasted time.

Every conversation is intentional. Every connection is relevant.
This is where cybersecurity leaders meet to exchange insights that actually matter.

Next IT Security — Nordics

Agenda

Day 01
March 2025

Selected as the official venue for Next IT Security Stockholm, Grand Hôtel offers a setting that supports privacy, discretion and high-level interaction.

The Grand Hôtel in Stockholm has been home to celebrities, high-profile events and everyday bon-vivants since 1874. Situated in the best waterfront location imaginable, the hotel overlooks the Royal Palace and Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s old town.


The Grand is also home to the classic Swedish Veranda restaurant, renowned for its traditional smörgåsbord, Mathias Dahlgren’s awarded restaurants and the spectacular Cadier Bar.

Amsterdam works best from the water and from above, so that’s how we’re doing it. A private canal cruise leads into dinner on one of the city’s best rooftops — a tightly curated table of C-suite cyber minds, kept deliberately small so every conversation counts.

Frankfurt earned the nickname “Mainhattan” for a skyline that rivals Manhattan’s. Dinner sits in the financial district with towers lit on every side, seating C-suite cyber minds alongside the day’s keynote speakers — no stage between you, just the conversation continuing.
