• Next edition (26th): from 7 to 10 October 2026 at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco.
• Organiser: DG Consultants, a subsidiary of the Comexposium group. The event runs on a model of pre-scheduled, qualified one-to-one meetings between cybersecurity leaders from major accounts and solution providers.

How the trade show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

A pillar of French cybersecurity since 2001, Les Assises celebrated its 25th edition in 2025 with 3,349 participants and 180 partners gathered at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco. The model stays true to its DNA: an invitation-only business gathering, built around 12,000 pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings and a dense content programme (more than 60 highlights in 2025). The 26th edition, from 7 to 10 October 2026, continues this positioning as a circle of cyber decision-makers, distinct from cybersecurity trade shows open to the wider public. The 2026 theme and target figures will be published as the event approaches.
