10th Homeland Security Conference – resilience in a more aggressive world
The 2023 edition of the Homeland Security Conference is the 10th edition of our annual flagship, and it will take place 3 October 2023 in Copenhagen.
As an innovation and technology conference, we bring together representatives from the entire Homeland Security and cyber security community; leading experts, industry decision makers, governmental authorities, and academics, in order to share knowledge and strengthen capabilities. The overall objective is to explore potential business opportunities within the industry and connect stakeholders.
The format of the conference is the same every year – 10 minutes presentations, followed by a joint panel debate with speakers. By following this approach, we are able to involve a broad range of capabilities and include + 20 speakers during the full day of program (see speakers at the bottom of this page). This way, the participants are introduced to a broad range of information and insights during the day.
Date: 3 October 2023 from 0800-1730 (+ optional networking dinner in the evening)
Location: Børsen, 1217 Copenhagen K

We will share the list of participants and email addresses with our conference partner Danish Chamber of Commerce as a security measure, as they need to know whom is entering their premises. The information will only be used to send a QR code to the participants the day before the conference, and not for other purposes.
This event is part of an initiative co-financed by the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science.
