The Global CyberPeace Summit 2026, to be held from February 8-10, will focus on pressing digital challenges from cybercrime, AI risks, disinformation and critical infrastructure protection to digital governance.
“Through policy dialogues, capacity-building meetings and joint initiatives, the summit aims to deliver practical results for a safer and more resilient digital world,” said a statement from the non-profit organization CyberPeace.
Organizers said the summit will bring together governments, parliamentarians, law enforcement, defense and diplomatic leadership, technology platforms, industry, academia, civil society and everyday internet users to jointly address the challenges shaping the global digital ecosystem.
On Thursday, Major Vineet Kumar, founder and global president of CyberPeace, raised the curtain; her global managing director and chief mentor SN Pradhan (a former Indian police officer); and its technical director MAKP Singh.
On February 8-9, the United Services Institution of India will focus on “building trust and security capacity through hackathons and buildathons”. On February 10, the summit is expected to draw over 1,000 participants.
