The Hague Threat Intelligence Exchange (Hague TIX) is a one-day conference focused on exploring the landscape of cyber threats and foster collaboration between private sector threat intelligence, government, and academia, organized by The Hague Program on International Cyber Security of Leiden University’s Institute of Security and Global Affairs.
Call for talks (deadline: Monday 23 March 2026, 11:59CET)
Hague TIX is currently accepting proposals for talks on cyber operations and their strategic, geopolitical, and societal dimensions. The research should not have been presented elsewhere. Talks are 15 minutes long, followed by 5 minutes of Q&A. We encourage submissions that go beyond a single incident deep dive to draw out broader analytical implications. We are particularly interested in - but not limited to - the following angles:
- Operations coordinated, conducted by, or linked to nation-state threat actors
- Development of national cyber ecosystems
- The use of generative artificial intelligence in the conduct of cyber operations
- Observed use of cyber operations during wartime
- Cyber contingency campaigning
- Strategic use of cyber enabled influence operations
- Technological statecraft
The conference has an empirical focus and aims to bring together security researchers from academia, civil society, industry, and government.
Please note that Hague TIX is a fully in-person conference with no recording or livestreaming. We support sensitive contributions through agreed TLP handling and format adjustments where needed. We cover registration costs*, travel, and accommodation for speakers.
Please submit your talk proposal through this form by Monday 23 March 2026, 11:59pm (CET).
Any questions can be directed to haguetix@thehagueprogram.nl.
*(If your talk is accepted and you had already purchased a ticket, we will refund your ticket purchase in full.)
