Dear business partners, colleagues, friends and supporters,

In October, Prague will traditionally see the culmination of the Future Forces Forum, an international platform for defence and security professionals. We would like to make use of this opportunity to inform you in detail particularly about the CYBER TRENDS Conference, which is dedicated to current cyber security trends and international cooperation in this area, with special focus on the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland. In parallel with the conference, practical demonstrations and professional workshops including round-tables with EDA and NATO representatives will be organized.

The objective of the conference is to introduce new solutions and innovations of companies dealing in cybernetic security, as well as needs of government authorities and security forces in this field.

Since the topics related to current defence & security needs are interconnected and involve many key players, Future Forces Forum gathers not only the military, special forces or police, but also other targeted components, such as the emergency management system, border protection, aviation safety, counterterrorism, critical infrastructure protection, homeland security, citizenship and immigration service, health affairs offices, intelligence and analysis offices, science and technology centres, and other relevant stakeholders together with industry, R&D, and academia.

Main topics of the conference will include:

• Cyber Threats and Trends
• Cyber Education
• Cloud Security
• Critical Information Infrastructure Protection
• Hybrid Warfare

Please find detailed information about the conference in the updated Call for Papers.

You can look forward to meeting 500+ top-notch cyber experts, academicians, industry and business representatives, international organizations, science and research, public administration and private sector from more than 20 countries.

The FFF project gives the exhibitors and visitors an exceptional opportunity to meet with top-level representatives of the European Union, NATO and partner countries, who have the authority to make decisions with respect to national security programmes. Present your products and innovations right to the decision makers and use the opportunity to discuss business opportunities.

Experts will have a unique chance to acquire new information, consult fresh pieces of knowledge with their peers, or deliver a speech or lecture during the programme.

Industry and business providing security-related technologies and services will be able to demonstrate latest solutions, obtain valuable information, and, first and foremost, meet decision-makers responsible for acquisitions and public contracts.

End users will have an opportunity to get acquainted with new products and trends in their respective fields and to consult with leading experts.
