Looking for Free Cybersecurity Conferences & Meetups in Europe (September 2026)

Hey everyone,
I’ll be travelling around Europe in September and looking for any free (or low-cost) cybersecurity conferences, meetups, BSides, hacker gatherings, DFIR/AppSec/CloudSec events, or local community events.

Mainly interested in:
- Italy
- France
- Albania
- Bosnia
- Greece
- but open to anywhere nearby in Europe as well.

Would love recommendations for:
- community-driven events
- networking meetups
- OWASP / BSides chapters
- student-friendly events
- local cyber communities
- hidden gems people usually don’t know about

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for solid recommendations on AI security, specifically from a technical / blue team perspective.

Most of what I’ve come across so far leans heavily into governance, policy. I’m more interested in the defensive side, things like:

- Detecting and responding to attacks against AI/ML systems
- Securing LLM-based applications (prompt injection, data leakage, abuse cases)
- Monitoring, logging, and anomaly detection in AI pipelines
- Model integrity, data poisoning detection, or runtime protection
- Practical tools, labs, or real-world case studies

If you’ve come across any hands-on resources, courses, trainings that go deep technically from beginning, I’d really appreciate it.

Trying to build stronger capability in this space beyond just theory.

Thanks in advance 🙏
