The 5th CyberWeek@LAC4 and 0ct0b3rf35t will take place in Santo Domino, the Dominican Republic from 17 to 20 November 2026.

The event under the title Stronger Together: Shielding the Digital Future of Latin America and the Caribbean will bring cybersecurity professionals, policymakers, researchers and business leaders from Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe to collaborate, share insights and strengthen regional and global cyber resilience.  

“CyberWeek@LAC4 has grown into a platform for turning dialogue into action across Latin America and the Caribbean. Now in its fifth edition, CyberWeek@LAC4 2026 represents both a milestone and an opportunity to consolidate lessons learned as it reflects a shared commitment to a stronger and more resilient cybersecurity across the region. As we gather again in Santo Domingo this November, the focus is on deepening cooperation, exchange real-world experiences and reinforce region’s collective cyber resilience.” – Liina Areng, Director of LAC4.   

Last edition in 2025 welcomed more than 150 participants from more than 30 countries and speakers from more than 20 countries. The agenda featured three parallel tracks, combining hands-on workshops and interactive sessions that allowed participants to engage in practical exercises and simulations, while also learning from real-world case studies. Further sessions allowed participants to enhance their skills and knowledge in handling and responding to cyber incidents, share and learn from national CSIRTs and policymakers from the LAC region and Europe.    

A call for presentations and further information will be published in the upcoming months.   

The event is invite-only.
