The Global CyberPeace Summit 2026, to be organised from February 8 to 10, will focus on pressing digital challenges ranging from cybercrime, AI risks, misinformation, and critical infrastructure protection to digital governance.

“Through policy dialogues, capacity-building sessions, and collaborative initiatives, the summit aims to deliver actionable outcomes for a safer, more resilient digital world,” read a statement by non-profit CyberPeace.

The organisers said the summit would bring together governments, parliamentarians, law enforcement agencies, defence and diplomatic leadership, technology platforms, industry, academia, civil society, and everyday internet users to collectively address the challenges shaping the global digital ecosystem.

On Thursday, the curtain-raiser was addressed by Major Vineet Kumar, founder and global president of CyberPeace; its global chief executive officer and chief mentor S.N. Pradhan (former Indian Police Service officer); and its chief technical officer M.A.K.P. Singh.

On February 8-9, at the United Services Institution of India, the focus will be on “Trust & Safety capacity building through hackathons and buildathons”. On February 10, the summit is expected to record over 1,000 participants.
