LIGHTNING TALKS_
PRESENT A LIGHTNING TALK ON THE SPOTLIGHT STAGE AT CYBERUK 2026
The Spotlight Stage will host an engaging series of Lightning Talks.
Delivered by delegates, these 5-minute, bite-size shots of inspiration, single-idea, solution-focused practitioner or research-led talks will showcase ideas and insight from across the cyber security community. Taking place between the main conference programme sessions, the Spotlight Stage draws focused audiences for highly engaging talks across the two conference days.
We are looking to hear from delegates who have compelling thought leadership, cutting-edge case studies and innovative ideas to present. Talks should be in line with the following NCSC priorities:
- Protecting Critical National Infrastructure (CNI)
- ACTIVE Cyber Defence (ACD)
- Incident Response
- Supporting Sectors and Citizens
- Technology and Research
- International Collaboration
