About the Event

On May 19–21 in Warsaw, we are bringing together senior decision-makers responsible for national resilience, civil protection, and border security from across the Baltics, Poland, Nordics, and Germany.
This is not a traditional conference.

We focus on the Civil Shield Playbook — the 10 most critical decisions in the first 72 hours of a crisis.

A select group of industry partners will contribute directly to this Playbook through problem-first sessions, ensuring solutions are positioned as mission-critical, not promotional.
