Agenda

  • Steve Goddard, Thales

    Setting the stage for the quantum era—why the shift is already underway, and why leadership decisions today will define future security and trust.

  • Dr Michele Mosca, Professor, Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo
    Louise Davey, Quantum Readiness Advisor, Leader Board Directors, President at LDIQ
    Blair Canavan, Alliances Director for PQC and PKI, Thales
    Zygmunt Lozinski, Quantum Safe Networks, IBM
    Lory Thorpe, Quantum Safe Industry Lead/ Sr Quantum Ambassador, IBM

    A clear and practical introduction to quantum computing and its implications for cybersecurity. This session cuts through the hype to explain what is changing, what is at risk, and why organisations must begin preparing now.

  • Professor Brian Cox CBE FRS, Physicist & Musician

    A unique perspective connecting quantum science with real-world impact. This session reframes quantum as a present-day challenge, exploring how concepts from physics translate into immediate cybersecurity risk and leadership responsibility.

  • Robert Burns, Chief Security Officer

    From awareness to execution. Learn how to begin building a post-quantum security strategy, including crypto-agility, risk prioritisation, and practical steps organisations can take today.

  • All speakers

    An interactive discussion addressing the key challenges organisations face in preparing for a post-quantum future—what to prioritise, where to start, and how to lead through uncertainty.
