Black Hat Europe 2026 is the European edition of the Black Hat cybersecurity conference, with specialized trainings plus a main program of peer-reviewed Briefings. The floor also includes Arsenal open-source tool demos, a Business Hall, and professional networking. It is aimed at security researchers, practitioners, and vendors who need technical depth on current threats, research, and defensive practice.
Black Hat is a global series of in-depth cybersecurity events combining cutting-edge research briefings, hands-on training courses, and a large vendor expo. The upcoming schedule includes flagship Black Hat USA in Las Vegas (August 1–6, 2026) and regional events in Toronto, Riyadh, London, and planned Asia dates in 2027.
security researchers, security engineers / architects, penetration testers / red teamers, incident responders / SOC analysts, CISOs and security leaders, devops / platform engineers, security product managers, compliance and risk officers, startup founders and product teams, academics and students (advanced)
Technical and leadership security professionals who want cutting-edge research, hands-on skills development, and vendor/industry networking — especially those seeking advanced briefings, specialized trainings, threat intelligence, and product discovery.
People with no role or interest in cybersecurity, or those seeking a casual, non-technical meetup; attendees looking only for low-cost community-driven hacker meetups (as opposed to commercial conference and paid trainings) may prefer alternative events.
