CyberPeace Summit 2.0 is a premier international gathering intended to influence the future of cybersecurity governance, digital trust, and internet safety, building on the success of its first edition under the G20/C20 initiatives.

The 2026 edition, which brings together heads of state, policymakers, researchers, and civil society from around the world, is a strategic prelude to the India AI Impact Summit and will take place in the famous Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi.

With the goal of creating a “Global CyberPeace” framework for the digital era, the summit moves the emphasis from simply technical exploitation to Cyber Diplomacy and Societal Resilience.
