Public Sector Cyber Security Northern Ireland 2026

Public Sector Cyber Security Northern Ireland 2026 is Holyrood Connect’s ninth Northern Ireland edition of this public-sector cyber conference. It takes place on one day, 13 October 2026, at the Assembly Buildings Conference Centre in Belfast.

The organiser lists the event window as 9:00 am to 4:15 pm. The published programme includes a chair’s opening, a welcome from the Lord Mayor of Belfast, an opening plenary on cyber resilience, a midday session on Northern Ireland’s Cyber-AI Hub, split panels on incident response and on securing legacy systems under tight budgets and rising regulation, a keynote, and a closing panel on whether incidents blamed on human error are better understood as system failures. An exhibition area and networking sessions run alongside the talks, including a lunch exhibition slot.

The conference is aimed at public and third sector professionals, including CIOs, CISOs, heads of digital and IT, information security and risk managers, and cyber strategy, policy, and governance staff. Holyrood states that attendance is free for people working in the public and third sectors. Private-sector organisations are asked to email sales@holyrood.com about commercial opportunities.

This listing covers the Belfast Northern Ireland edition only. Separate Holyrood cyber events in other cities are not part of this date or venue.
