Overview
|
The Geneva World Security Forum is a unique annual two-day international security
conference, showcase and training centre in Geneva, Switzerland. Held in June each
year, the gathering will be a top-level forum that will target key stakeholders
in the highly competitive and rapidly changing global security market: policymakers,
business leaders, key practitioners, and thought leaders who will work together
to anticipate and address the issues on the global security agenda. The Geneva Forum
will also be an occasion to raise awareness, showcase products and services and
conduct training seminars.
The Geneva Forum is the first global conference designed to facilitate communication
between security professionals to anticipate the changing global security environment,
promote commercial solutions and discuss policy trade offs.
The Conference of the Geneva Forum is by invitation only and will provide a unique
platform for business and government to openly discuss global security issues towards

and practitioners (intelligence agencies, military, academia, etc) from around the
world.
