Just Two Weeks to Go: Renaissance Cyber Expo & Conference Ireland 2025
Thursday 22nd May 2025 | Leopardstown Pavilion, Dublin
In just a fortnight, Ireland’s leading cybersecurity event returns to Dublin for what promises to be its most dynamic and relevant edition yet. The Renaissance Cyber Expo & Conference Ireland 2025 is back on Thursday 22nd May, and with over 400 professionals expected to attend, this free-to-attend event remains a popular date on the Irish cybersecurity calendar.
Now in its eighth year, the Expo has grown into a critical meeting point for IT and cybersecurity professionals, vendors, public sector leaders, and private sector decision-makers alike. As the threat landscape evolves and the demands on IT leaders increase, this event is designed to give attendees the insights, connections, and practical tools needed to respond with confidence.
A One-Day Event Built for Modern Security Challenges
Hosted by Renaissance, Ireland’s leading IT security distributor, the event has consistently adapted to reflect the changing nature of security, from technical risks to regulatory pressures and everything in between. This year’s conference continues that trajectory with a full day of carefully curated sessions, covering everything from AI-driven threats and ransomware evolution to compliance frameworks like DORA and NIS2, human error, and the growing need for operational resilience.
At the heart of the day is the integrated Cyber Expo and Cyber Con experience. This combined format offers attendees the opportunity to explore a live expo floor filled with the latest cybersecurity vendors and solutions, alongside a packed conference agenda featuring keynote speakers, panel discussions, and expert-led sessions. Whether you're looking to get hands-on with new technologies or gain strategic insights from industry thought leaders, the Cyber Expo & Conference is where practical knowledge and innovation intersect.
The event will welcome over 20 world-class vendors, 12 of Ireland’s top Managed Service Providers (MSPs), and 7 industry experts who will not only be exhibiting but also speaking across 11 cutting-edge technology streams, attendees will have the chance to engage directly with solution providers, attend product demos, and book one-to-one meetings that dive deeper into real-world challenges and use cases.
You can view the full list of exhibitors and book meetings with them ahead of time, via the cyber expo website here.
Key Themes for 2025
This year’s conference content focuses on some of the most urgent issues facing cybersecurity teams today. From the headline keynote session delivered by Paul C Dwyer on the rise of AI-powered threats, to sessions exploring the resurgence of ransomware, supply chain risk, and how organisations can move beyond basic compliance, every session is designed to be timely, actionable, and relevant to today’s security environment.
Sessions will also look ahead, with a forward-thinking panel titled “Threat Horizon 2030: Preparing for the next wave of cyber risks” exploring what lies ahead in the next decade of cyber risk and how organisations can start preparing now.

Introducing AV Expo Ireland by Northamber
New for 2025, Renaissance is proud to introduce AV Expo Ireland, a breakout event running in parallel to the main Cyber Expo & Conference. Hosted under the same roof, this dedicated event is brought to the Irish market by Northamber, one of Europe’s leading AV technology distributors, and now the parent company of Renaissance.
AV Expo Ireland is designed to showcase the latest innovations in audio-visual technology, with a particular focus on how AV and IT are converging in enterprise, education, and hybrid collaboration environments. This event gives resellers, integrators, and AV professionals the chance to engage directly with top global brands such as Sony, Yealink, Extron, and Wacom, among others.
Alongside vendor showcases, a specialist conference track titled “The Future of AV in Ireland” will explore the opportunities and challenges facing the AV sector as it responds to shifting demands in workplace technology, unified communications, and smart collaboration systems.
This crossover between AV and cybersecurity reflects the reality of today’s digital infrastructure, where security must be built into every layer - from the server room to the boardroom.
Why This Event Matters
The cyber threat landscape is more complex than ever. AI is being used both to enhance defences and to supercharge attacks. Compliance standards are shifting from optional best practices to mandatory frameworks with real consequences. Human error remains the root of most breaches, and many organisations are still unsure how to address the human side of security effectively. These aren’t future challenges, they’re happening now.
That’s why events like Cyber Expo & Conference Ireland are so important, bringing together the people, the technologies, and the conversations that will shape how we defend our organisations in the months and years ahead. Whether you're responsible for security strategy, operations, compliance, or solution delivery, this event is designed to equip you with ideas you can act on immediately.
