FAQ
Is the conference in-person, virtual, or hybrid?
BE-CYBER is an in-person event. We do not provide any streaming service. Exceptionally speakers will attend the conference remotely, but only in cases where their presence on-site is not possible.
Is the event free to attend?
Members of the Cyber Security Coalition do not have to pay. They will receive an invitation from our event tool including a unique voucher to be used for the registration.
If you have not received an invitation, please reach out to the Operations team at [email protected]. Please, check the member page on the Coalition website if you do not know whether your organisation is a member of our association.
Sponsors are allocated a specific number of complimentary seats based on their selected sponsorship package. Please note that each voucher is single-use only. If a registered participant cancels their registration, the voucher used cannot be reactivated or transferred to another person.
All other interested persons must pay a registration fee of EUR 100.00 (+ EUR 21 VAT). The fee is charged to cover part of the catering and rental costs.
What do I need to access the conference?
You need to bring the confirmation e-mail you have received after your registration. You do not need to print the confirmation e-mail. A digital document is sufficient as long as we can scan the QR code it contains. The QR code will allow us to print your badge.
What are the payment options for the conference?
You will be able to pay with the major credit cards, and online payment platforms such as PayPal, Bancontact/Payconiq.
Can I get an invoice for my payment?
No invoices will be issued for this event.
Will I receive a payment confirmation?
Payment must be completed during the registration process. Once the payment processing app Stipe confirms your transaction, you will be redirected back to the InviteDesk event app. Please note that you will not receive payment confirmation by email—confirmation is shown only on screen. If the payment is not finalised at that time, you’ll be asked to complete it during event onboarding.
Is there a deadline for payment?
All payments must be completed during the registration process. You will have 15 minutes to finalise your payment. If the transaction is not completed within this timeframe, you will be required to settle the payment during the event check-in. We kindly inform you that cash payments will not be accepted. Only credit cards and standard online payment platforms will be supported.
Are refunds available if I cannot attend?
Yes, you can cancel your registration by unregistering in the tool until October 1st, 2025. Cancellations made before this date are eligible for a full refund, with no cancellation fee. Please note that no refunds will be issued after October 1st, 2025.
Can I transfer my paid ticket to someone else?
Unfortunately, ticket transfers are not allowed. Registrations are personal and linked to the original participant’s details provided during sign-up.
Can I register additional people as guests?
No, you can only register yourself.
If you work for a member organisation and would like peers to join, please check whether they have received an invitation with a voucher—especially if they are members, as they may already be listed in our CRM. If they haven’t received an invitation, they can always request one from us.
Non-members can always register for the event using the registration link on this website.
Are there discounts for group registrations or early bird tickets?
We do not offer group discounts or early bird tickets.
What happens if my payment fails?
If your payment fails during registration, you will not be redirected back to the InviteDesk event app, and your registration may not be completed. In that case, you best restart the registration process and try again using a valid payment method.
Please note that no payment confirmation is sent—your only payment confirmation appears on screen once the payment is successfully processed.
If issues persist, reach out to [email protected] for assistance.
Is there a dress code?
Not really, as long as you do not offend anyone with your attire.
What are lightning talks?
A lightning talk is a very short presentation, limited to just 6 minutes, where you share a big idea, an insight, or a question that matters to you. It’s a fast-paced and engaging format – when the bell rings at six minutes, the talk ends. No extensions, no exceptions!
Anyone attending BE-CYBER can sign up for a lightning talk. You don’t need to be a professional speaker. If you ‘ve got something to say, we want to hear it.
It’s a great chance to:
- Share something you’re passionate about
- Spark a conversation
- Gain visibility in the tech/cyber community
- Practice your public speaking – in a low-pressure, friendly setting
We love diversity! Your talk can be about anything related to technology, cybersecurity, or privacy. It can be:
- Technical or non-technical
- A personal story
- A deep dive or a broad overview
- Serious or light-hearted
Slides are optional (PPT slides preferred). Let us know if you have any technical needs (e.g., HDMI, audio).
No Q&A during the talk but people can chat with you afterwards.
Ready to inspire us in 6 minutes? Send your proposal to [email protected] and own the stage!
We accept submissions until September 7th. The Programme Committee will select 6 talks from the submitted proposals, so make yours stands out!
Space is limited – so don’t wait too long!
Will you share the presentations?
We will ask the speakers for their permission to share the presentations. And for those who accept, their presentations will be made available in the Resources Library on the Coalition website.
How do I get a certificate of attendance?
If you attended one of our events, you will receive a certificate of attendance by email after the event. This certificate is issued in collaboration with ISACA Belgium and can be used to self-report CPE credits in your MyISACA account.
If you haven’t received your certificate, please contact us and mention the event you attended and, if applicable, the tracks you followed.
Please note: certificates are not issued automatically during registration—they are sent out after attendance has been confirmed.
Will photos and videos be taken during the event?
Yes, an official event photographer and videographer will be capturing moments throughout the conference for promotional and documentation purposes. The images and recordings may be used in marketing materials, social media posts, websites, and future BE-CYBER event promotions. The pictures will be made available in the Members Event Galleries on the Coalition website.
Can I opt out of being photographed or filmed?
Is there Wi-Fi access at the venue?
