The Cyber 100 Club lounge in Dubai, 2026

The room where security leadership actually talks

The Cyber 100 Club at the UAE Security Expo 2026 was a premium, invitation-only networking and business-development experience for CISOs, CIOs, senior cybersecurity leaders and a carefully selected group of technology vendors — a high-value alternative to the exhibition floor, built around meaningful conversation rather than sales pressure.

Following four consecutive years at Infosecurity Europe in London, 2026 marked the first Dubai edition, held alongside the UAE Security Expo, the Middle East’s largest cybersecurity event, drawing 20,000+ security professionals.

Our home was the ROVE Hotel, Expo — moments from the exhibition entrance and fully exclusive to Club guests and sponsors across both days.

About the Event

A welcoming, invitation-only oasis away from the floor

For the UAE Security Expo we had full use of the venue — the main bar, meeting rooms and break-out areas — across both core show days, from 13:00 to 20:00, with fine cuisine and soft and alcoholic beverages served throughout.

This was not a stage for formal product pitching. It created the conditions for one-to-one conversations that matter, where follow-up evolves naturally from authentic connections.

Curated access

A vetted, invitation-only guest list of C-suite and security leadership. No floor-walkers, no cold pitches.

Executive networking

Time with peers who set the agenda, over lunch, across the lounges and into the supper hour.

Exclusive access

Candid, off-the-record conversation with the vendors and innovators shaping enterprise security.

A standing community

Membership of a growing circle of the industry’s most respected leaders, between events and between years.
