Co-located with Infosecurity Europe at ExCeL London, this summit will bring together CISOs, CIOs, and cyber risk leaders to explore how organizations can move beyond fragmented, point-in-time security practices toward a more continuous and business-aligned approach.

Through expert-led sessions and peer discussion, attendees will hear how leaders are using FAIR to quantify cyber risk, improve decision-making, strengthen communication with boards and executives, and scale cyber risk management with AI and automation.

2026 FAIR Conference

October 6 & 7 | Marriott Marquis Times Square | New York

Join us at the 2026 FAIR Conference—the 11th Annual Global Event for Cyber Risk Management—on October 6–7 in New York City. As AI accelerates complexity and uncertainty, cyber risk has become a defining business challenge. FAIRCON26 brings together global leaders to establish a common, economic language for risk—enabling clearer communication and stronger alignment across CISOs, CFOs, CROs, and executive teams.

Through focused sessions and expert insights, attendees will learn how to quantify cyber and AI risk, strengthen decision-making, and align risk with business opportunity. From AI and vendor risk to quantum threats and cyber-OT convergence, this is where organizations move from uncertainty to confident, data-driven decisions.
