About Cyber Dialogue The Cyber Dialogue conference convenes an influential mix of global leaders from government, civil society, academia and private enterprise to participate in a series of facilitated public plenary conversations and working groups around cyberspace security and governance. It is a by-invitation only event and organized as a Davos-style facilitated conversation. The aim of the conference is to identify where accountability gaps exist, or where policy adjustments might be advocated, on the basis of real case studies and empirical evidence. We also hope that the conference will help contribute to a broader understanding of cyberspace strategy as a whole for stakeholders from national security, civil society and private sector communities. The Cyber Dialogue conference has become a premier annual event for those interested in Internet governance, security and human rights issues and provides an excellent opportunity to showcase companies and products. Please join us at Cyber Dialogue 2014 as we bring together decision makers from varied backgrounds in cyber security and global policy. An exciting conference program is currently being developed featuring panel discussions and a number of social and networking events.
