December 1 - 3, 2026 - Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Hybrid
Quantum computers will soon break the cryptographic foundation of the modern enterprise. This is no longer a theoretical risk for cryptography experts to debate—it is an imminent business continuity crisis that every digital organisation must solve.
The PQC Conference Amsterdam 2026 is the definitive global gathering for the post-quantum transition. The rules from NIST are finalized. The deployment phase is here. The question is no longer if you should migrate, but how fast and what breaks along the way.
This isn't just an awareness event. This is where the organisations leading the transition share exactly how they are doing it, what problem they have run into, and how they have addressed them. Three days of practitioner-level experience: actionable migration blueprints, off-the-record discussions, and the connections that will cut months off your delivery timeline.
Join the community. The conference is open to every organization preparing for the quantum transition and is completely free to attend. It is not limited to members of the PKI Consortium.
Migrating an enterprise to post-quantum cryptography requires more than just engineers writing code. It requires budget, risk mandates, policy alignment, and technology procurement.
We have structured the 2026 agenda to serve the two distinct halves of a successful migration:
For the C-Suite, Risk Officers, and PMOs. The Strategic Track focuses entirely on the business of migration.
Plenary / Red Hall
For Architects, DevOps, and Implementers. Deep-dive sessions on the actual implementation of the new NIST standards.
Parallel / Blue Hall
NIST has officially published ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA. The deployment phase has begun. The blueprint is set.
Adversaries are collecting your encrypted traffic today. Every day you delay is another day of sensitive data permanently exposed to future quantum attacks.
Auditors and regulators are turning guidance into mandates. Failing to demonstrate a cryptographic agility plan risks severe penalties.
Moving to 47-day certificate lifespans while manually handling complex PQC migrations is a recipe for catastrophic infrastructure outages.
The PKI Consortium believes that securing the world's digital infrastructure against quantum threats shouldn't be hidden behind expensive paywalls.
Attendance to the PQC Conference—whether in-person in Amsterdam or virtual—is 100% free.
While tickets are free, running a global technical conference is not. While our main room can hold 800 attendees and the total venue many more, our total attendee capacity will depend on the available budget. If your organization finds value in our work, please consider making a voluntary donation or sponsoring the PKI Consortium.
Please note: Donations are entirely voluntary and are strictly separated from event attendance. A donation is a contribution to our ongoing mission, not a fee or payment for conference access.
We offer two ways to experience PQC Amsterdam 2026. Register early, as our in-person capacity is strictly capped to the venue limits.
Join us at the Meervaart. For three days, the entire venue is ours.

This conference was made possible through the support of the Post-Quantum Cryptography Working Group and the following organizations:
We don't select speakers based on marketing budgets. We select based on depth of implementation experience. You will hear directly from national cybersecurity agencies, NIST/ETSI members, enterprise architects running hybrid setups, and cloud security teams.
Our three-day agenda follows a deliberate arc: framing keynote → parallel workshops → synthesis panel. Session titles and confirmed speakers are updated progressively as the program is finalized.
Share practical migration experience, implementation lessons, and real-world outcomes. Early submissions have a significantly higher chance of selection. All accepted speakers are subject to our strict Zero Product Promotion Guarantee—ensuring authentic insights, not sales pitches.
