SUMMARY:How to Actually Start Your PQC Transition
DESCRIPTION:In discussions around the PQC transition\, the technical migrat
 ion challenge often receives the most attention. In practice\, however\, or
 ganizations face significant barriers before any cryptographic transition c
 an begin: establishing governance\, securing funding\, aligning stakeholder
 s\, and setting up effective program management structures.\n\nThis talk bu
 ilds on a whitepaper currently being developed through hands-on experience 
 from members of two Belgian communities\, Quantum Circle and the Belgian Cy
 bersecurity Coalition. It provides practical guidance for the early stages 
 of PQC adoption\, focusing on why these initial steps are complex\, how org
 anizations can structure the necessary PQC migration engine\, and how to ju
 stify the scale and urgency of such a transformation. In addition\, the tal
 k challenges commonly repeated advice on initial migration preparation and 
 prioritization\, offering a more pragmatic alternative approach.\n\n\nSpeak
