On September 24, 2025, one of the largest IT and security professional events in Central Europe will be held again. ITBN CONF EXPO 2025, which this year will be held in Budapest Lumin8 Event Center is hosting. The central motto of the event is: "Protect Your AI-Sensitive", which draws attention to the security issues and challenges raised by artificial intelligence. The event aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the most important cybersecurity, social and economic challenges facing the digital world, while also presenting the new opportunities that technological developments offer.
The ITBN 2025 programme is extremely diverse and is aimed at industry experts, business decision-makers and anyone who wants to better understand where the digital world is heading. The conference’s presentations and panel discussions will address the security aspects of artificial intelligence, the spread of deepfake technologies and the possibilities of defending against them, as well as the application of EU regulations – such as NIS2, DORA and the AI Act – in everyday practice. In addition, the future of biometric identification will be discussed, the gradual decline of passwords and the social and security implications of the emergence of humanoid robots. Experts will also look at how artificial intelligence is transforming the creative industry: how it is changing content production, video production or game development.
Dr. József Répás, representing the Hungarian Cybersecurity Cluster, will also participate in the discussion titled "Those who have already gone through the NIS2 baptism of fire - the experiences of NIS 2 audits: the experiences of the authority, auditors, consultants and stakeholders."
One of the unique features of the event is that it focuses not only on technological details, but also on the broader context. Digital security issues are examined from social, psychological and economic perspectives, giving participants a complex picture of how digitalization affects our daily lives and workplaces. The program will focus on new forms of cyber threats, attacks taking place in global cyberspace, and the defense strategies that companies and institutions can use to prepare for the challenges of the future.
The event will feature hundreds of domestic and international experts, including researchers, industry leaders, consultants and decision-makers. Through presentations and discussions, visitors will be able to learn first-hand about the latest trends and practical experiences.
The modern environment of the Lumin8 Event Center will not only host professional programs, but also an exhibition space where the latest technological solutions, products and services will be presented to participants. This will provide visitors with the opportunity to meet directly with key players in the market, consult with developers and manufacturers, and build new professional relationships.
ITBN CONF-EXPO 2025 is therefore not just a conference, but also a meeting point. The special value of the event is that in addition to professional knowledge sharing, it also emphasizes relationship building and community building. The event is an ideal forum for those who want to gain up-to-date knowledge about the current challenges of the digital world, but also for those who are looking for business partners, cooperation opportunities or new inspirations.
