InfoSec World Conference 2026 took place October 11–15, 2026.

The site reported 2,500+ IT security professionals.

The 2026 edition was held at Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.

The conference is aimed at cybersecurity leaders and practitioners responsible for protecting modern organizations while enabling business growth.

The All Access Pass ran from $3,395 to $3,995 depending on timing, so small teams on tight budgets, or specialists wanting a narrow technical deep dive, may have gotten more from a cheaper regional event; team discounts of 10% to 15% helped groups.

Cybersecurity conferences usually see business casual, with polos, jeans or slacks and company shirts common, and a few suits among executives and government speakers; the Orlando resort setting favored comfortable shoes for a large venue.
