Black Hat Cyber War Connect
We are pleased to invite you to a closed-door Cyber War Reception convened by Black Hat in London on 3 June (18:00–21:00) at 116 Pall Mall.
Chaired by Dr. Bilyana Lilly (Global Chair, Black Hat Cyber War Forum and Warsaw Security Forum) and Daniel Cuthbert (Co-Chair, UK Government Cyber Advisory Board), the evening will bring together a highly curated group of leaders from government, defence, critical infrastructure and industry.
The discussion will open with a short fireside conversation on how nations are navigating modern geopolitical conflict and coordination - with cyber as a core, integrated domain of statecraft. Our confirmed speakers include Javier Garcia (CISO, Repsol), Bella Powell (Director for the Government Cyber Unit and Government CISO, Government Digital Service), Tõnis Saar (Director NATO CCDDOE) and Paul Taylor (Deputy Managing Director, AWE plc).
The audience is intentionally limited to ~40 senior leaders to enable a high-trust exchange.
This is not a conference setting, but a curated room of peers shaping policy, investment and operational response - designed for candid discussion and meaningful connection.
