CRA Compliance Summit 2026

The CRA Compliance Summit is the premier two-day conference dedicated to the EU Cyber Resilience Act — bringing together compliance leaders, engineers, legal experts, and policymakers in Malta to tackle the regulation reshaping how digital products are built, shipped, and maintained across Europe.

Why This Conference Matters

The Cyber Resilience Act introduces mandatory cybersecurity requirements for every product with a digital element sold in the EU. Manufacturers, software publishers, and open-source stewards face new obligations around vulnerability handling, secure-by-default design, and ongoing support commitments — with enforcement timelines already underway.

This summit cuts through the noise to give you actionable, expert-led guidance on what the CRA actually requires, what it means for your product roadmap, and how to get compliant without grinding your engineering organisation to a halt.

What You’ll Take Away

• Compliance strategy sessions — practical frameworks for mapping CRA obligations to your existing processes, from SBOM generation to coordinated vulnerability disclosure
• Technical deep dives — hands-on workshops covering secure development lifecycles, conformity assessment procedures, and CE marking for software products
• Implementation timelines — a clear breakdown of the CRA’s phased enforcement dates and what needs to be in place at each milestone
• Regulatory insider perspectives — hear directly from EU policymakers and notified body representatives on how the regulation will be applied in practice
• Peer networking — connect with CTOs, compliance officers, and legal teams from across the industry who are navigating the same challenges

Who Should Attend

• Compliance and regulatory affairs teams responsible for CRA readiness
• CTOs and engineering leaders planning product and infrastructure changes
• Software developers and DevSecOps engineers implementing technical controls
• Legal counsel advising on product liability and regulatory exposure
• Open-source maintainers and foundation leaders affected by the stewardship provisions
• Product managers aligning roadmaps with regulatory deadlines
