The agenda includes more than 70 discussion panels and presentation blocks. The debate will be structured around four thematic pillars, including national and allied defence, the role of a modern economy in the defence system, protection of infrastructure and society, and international security policy. Discussions will therefore span the full spectrum of security policy, ranging from strategic issues and regional cooperation, through cybersecurity, the evolution of the battlefield, and development plans for the Polish Armed Forces and the domestic and international defence industry, to financing and building a resilient economy and society.
The event will also feature an exhibition of the Polish Armed Forces and the Polish defence industry in the outdoor area of PGE Narodowy. It will showcase the most advanced solutions used by the Polish military and offered by domestic defence companies.
Registration for the event is mandatory. The conference will take place at PGE Narodowy on May 6–7, 2026. Registration is available on the event’s website: defence24days.pl.
