From One Room To a Continent
Today’s CISOs face a fast-moving threat landscape — AI-driven attacks, state-sponsored actors, tightening regulation. What they need isn’t more noise, but a trustworthy space to find real solutions: credible vendors, sharp knowledge, and peers facing the same problems.
Next IT Security was founded to be exactly that space
2023
Nordics. Launched in March, with a second edition that October. Capped, invitation-only, C-level focused from day one.
2024-2025
Benelux. Expanded the same year, proving the model wasn’t a one-region fluke.
Steady growth. Nordics and Benelux continued on a biannual rhythm, format unchanged.
2025
DACH. Launched in November, bringing the model to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
2026
East-Central Europe. The newest edition lands in Belgrade, extending the platform to a region with its own threat landscape and its own underserved CISOs.
What Hasn't Changed
- 150 delegates. C-level only.
- Vetted vendors, not open floor access.
- Not the easiest way to grow — but the only way to stay trustworthy as the threats keep evolving.
