Baltic Domain Days is Heading to Riga

The conference brings together registries, registrars, internet infrastructure experts, policymakers, and cybersecurity professionals from the Baltics and beyond to discuss the latest challenges and development directions in the domain industry.

In 2026, Baltic Domain Days will be held as a thematic parallel session within the international cybersecurity conference CyberChess 2026, taking place on October 14–15 in Riga. Based on previous years, the event is expected to attract more than 800 participants from dozens of countries in person.

In recent years, CyberChess has become one of the leading cybersecurity events in the Baltics, bringing together:

• technical experts and policymakers,
  

• representatives from the military sector,
  

• internet and telecommunications service providers,
  

• top-level domain registries and other industry stakeholders.

  The conference focuses on cybersecurity at a time when geopolitical risks and digitalization make security critically important for both countries and businesses.
