CIP Week in Europe

The International Association for CIP Professionals (IACIPP) is proud to announce that CIP Week Europe 2026 will take place in Brussels, Belgium, in the heart that shapes policy for CIPR.

As the premier gathering for the critical infrastructure protection and resilience community, Critical Infrastructure Protection and Resilience Europe (CIPRE) brings together senior representatives from industry, operators, agencies, and governments to advance collaboration and innovation in securing Europe’s essential systems and services.

With the ongoing implementation of the Critical Entities Resilience (CER) Directive and the NIS2 Directive, the EU is strengthening its framework for ensuring that vital societal and economic functions remain resilient in the face of evolving threats. These directives establish robust obligations for Member States and operators, including enhanced risk management, stricter reporting and cybersecurity requirements, and comprehensive crisis response planning.

Compliance with the CER and NIS2 Directives is now a key priority for public and private sector organizations across Europe—essential not only for regulatory adherence but also for safeguarding national and cross-border resilience.

Brussels, as the heart of the European Union, offers the perfect setting for this vital dialogue. Home to major EU institutions, international organizations, and a vibrant innovation ecosystem, Brussels provides a unique platform for shaping Europe’s critical infrastructure protection strategy at the highest level.

Join us in Brussels, Belgium, for CIP Week Europe 2026 and the 11th edition of Critical Infrastructure Protection and Resilience Europe, as we work together to strengthen the resilience and security of Europe’s critical infrastructure for the future.
