Amsterdam Networking Forum 2026 Aligning IT, Security and Enterprise Resilience
Amsterdam Networking Forum
The Amsterdam Networking Forum is a senior-level executive half-day conference designed exclusively for CIOs, CISOs, and enterprise technology leaders navigating the increasing convergence of IT, security, risk, and regulation.
As organisations accelerate digital transformation, the traditional separation between IT and security leadership is no longer sustainable. Cloud adoption, AI-driven operations, regulatory pressure, and rising cyber risk demand a more integrated operating model — one built on shared accountability, resilience by design, and strategic alignment at the top.
This half-day conference brings together a highly curated peer group for high-level keynote insight, focused discussion, and meaningful networking, set within one of Europe’s leading technology and business hubs.
Who Should Attend
Attendance is limited to senior, in-house leaders including:
- Chief Information Officers (CIOs)

As AI rapidly embeds itself across enterprise environments, CISOs are facing a dual challenge: leveraging its defensive potential while managing the new risks it introduces.

Closing Presentation: AI, Deepfakes, and Burnout: Welcome to Modern Cybersecurity
AI is transforming cybersecurity, but not always in the ways organizations expected. From deepfake-enabled fraud and AI-generated phishing campaigns to automated vulnerability exploitation, today’s threat landscape is evolving rapidly.
