Call for Participation
The Dutch Government and the Municipality of The Hague cordially invite you to submit your proposal to contribute to the ONE Conference 2025 programme.
As the Netherlands’ prime international cybersecurity conference, the ONE Conference covers a wide spectrum of topics, from technical cybersecurity to policy issues and economic opportunities offered by the cyber domain. Experts from business, academia, industry, and government will come together to share insights and explore the latest developments in cybersecurity.
Our mission is to foster knowledge exchange and collaboration within the international cybersecurity community. Participants include professionals from the CERT community, academia, public and private sector security experts, and key partners from law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
This year, we are introducing additional smaller session rooms to provide a platform for niche topics, deep dives, and interactive discussions.
We encourage you to think differently and bring fresh ideas to the stage. Submit your proposal and be part of this leading cybersecurity event!
A separate call is open for participation in the Expo. If you are a start-up looking to showcase your work at ONE Conference, submit your details here.
