Each year, Dublin becomes the epicentre of cybersecurity thought leadership as VigiTrust welcomes its Global Advisory Board members from across the world to its flagship two-day event. This year’s Annual Meeting was no exception—bringing together a vibrant and diverse group of C-level executives, regulators, academics, law enforcement leaders, and industry innovators for a truly dynamic exchange of ideas.
“Geopolitical Storms: Preparing Cyber Defences for Global Risks”
Conversations that Matter
With over 1,300 members across 30+ countries, the VigiTrust Global Advisory Board serves as a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange and strategic foresight in compliance, risk, cybersecurity, and governance. The Dublin gathering stood as a testament to that mission, featuring some of the most pressing issues facing the global security landscape today.
Central to the agenda were deep dives into geopolitical risk, the impact of artificial intelligence, and future-forward regulatory strategy. Panels and presentations tackled real-world dilemmas with clarity and candour, fostering discussion between C-level leaders, regulators, academics, and innovators.
Beyond the Panels
This year’s meeting wasn’t only about policy and frameworks—it was about people, purpose, and partnership. Attendees reconnected at networking receptions, engaged in high-energy debates, and participated in collaborative sessions that sparked new thinking.
Adding a special flair to the gathering were two exclusive book signings, offering guests a chance to meet authors, exchange ideas, and reflect on the broader themes shaping our industry.
Book Signings
One of the highlights of the Dublin Annual Meeting was the opportunity to engage directly with thought leaders through exclusive book signings. These sessions allowed attendees to connect with the authors, discuss key themes explored in their publications, and take home signed copies.
