This year’s conference theme is Cybersecurity and Geopolitics and will feature two panel discussions on the historical development of cyber and its implications on the defense domain. The conference will also include an interactive crisis simulation, in which participants will engage as delegates of countries and private sector entities in a scenario relating to the conference theme. Past conference themes include environmental impacts on security policy, international arms trade and military interventions, and the challenges of hybrid warfare.
