Defence24 Days 2026: Warsaw to Host the Largest Defense Conference in Central and Eastern Europe, May 6–7

The eighth Defence24 Days conference – the largest defense and security event in Central and Eastern Europe – will take place in Warsaw on May 6–7, 2026.

Organizers have announced the opening of official registration and revealed details of this year’s program.

The event will be held at PGE Narodowy Stadium, where participants will discuss key challenges to regional stability and the future of global security.

Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense, has assumed honorary chairmanship of the Defence24 Days Program Council.

The keynote speakers, alongside the head of the defense ministry, will include Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Radosław Sikorski. Senior officials from NATO and the European Union, members of the diplomatic corps, and leading international experts are also expected to take part in the discussions.

The key topic on the agenda will be the modernization of the Polish military and the development of the national defense-industrial complex.

Special attention will also be given to analyzing Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and its long-term consequences for European security.

The agenda will also cover issues related to the technological revolution on the battlefield, in particular, the development of unmanned systems and cybersecurity. Experts will examine the role of regional cooperation within NATO, as well as the use of modeling systems and wargaming for training units.

An integral part of the event will be a large-scale exhibition of the Polish Armed Forces and defense industry enterprises.

This year, the exhibition will take place in an expanded format: the latest equipment and technological solutions will be presented both inside the stadium halls and in outdoor areas.
