2026 is off to a great start: We've locked in dates and venues for the North American (NA) and European (EU) fwd:cloudsec conferences this year!
fwd:cloudsec NA will be in the Seattle, Washington area at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue on June 1 and 2. We're entering the belly of the beast this year, with major cloud providers surrounding us!
The Call for Papers (CFP) is now open for fwd:cloudsec NA and will close on March 20. Check out the CFP and submit your talk here: https://fwdcloudsec.org/conference/north-america/cfp.html
We're continuing the process from previous years where early submissions from first time speakers will receive feedback to improve the talk submission. More details on that are in the CFP. We're still working on plans for ticket sales, scholarships, and sponsors, but if you're interested in sponsoring, please reach out at sponsorship@fwdcloudsec.org.
fwd:cloudsec EU will be at the Park Plaza Victoria in London, UK on September 7 and 8. The Call for Sponsors can be found in our Europe Sponsorship Prospectus: https://fwdcloudsec.org/assets/docs/2026/europe/europe_sponsorship_prospectus.pdf
The Europe CFP will open in March and tickets will go on sale in April.
