Baltic Domain Days Return for the Sixth Time

Baltic domain industry professionals will once again gather this autumn — the sixth edition of Baltic Domain Days will take place, having become the most significant domain industry event in the region.

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.
  

BalticDomainDays – DNS Security and Governance

This year, Baltic Domain Days will form one of the parallel sessions of CyberChess — #BalticDomainDays, focusing on domain name system (DNS) security, threats and attacks, protection solutions, and governance issues in the Baltic region.

A detailed BalticDomainDays program will be announced later.

In addition to BalticDomainDays, the CyberChess 2026 program will feature several thematic tracks:

#CyberChess – plenary sessions, opening and closing, dedicated to strategic policy topics with a focus on cybersecurity development at national and European levels.
#CyberStory – industry trends and experience sharing.
#CyberShock – in-depth technical sessions and practical demonstrations.

Key Topics This Year:

• secure use of artificial intelligence,
  
• cyber threats and their mitigation,
  
• cyber threat intelligence (CTI) and data analytics,
  
• interaction between cyber systems and physical security, DNS security and governance.
  

Additionally, the conference will feature CTF (Capture the Flag) competitions, where cybersecurity enthusiasts will tackle practical technical challenges in web security, digital forensics, cryptography, and other categories.
