How to Engage with the Community + Quantum Readiness Updates

The global quantum-security landscape is accelerating quickly – from PQC migration and crypto-agility, to CRQC capability forecasts, Q-Day horizon modeling, regulatory pressure (NIST, ENISA, ETSI, ISO, CISA), and lessons learned from early enterprise adopters.

To begin 2026, we’re hosting the first community event to bring everything together – and to show how you can get the most value from the Quantum Security Community ecosystem.

This session will cover two parts:

***

1. How to Engage With and Benefit From the Quantum Security Community

Presenter: Marin Ivezic
An introduction to the mission, structure, and tools of the Quantum Security Community, including how to use our Slack workspace, LinkedIn Group, upcoming Forum, events, newsletters, and community resources.
You’ll learn how each channel fits together – and how to participate in a way that builds value for you and for the wider community.

2. Quantum Readiness Updates for 2026

A fast-paced, research-driven overview of where we stand at the start of 2026, including:

  • Latest Q-Day predictions and capability thresholds
  • Key signals from CRQC hardware progress
  • Regulatory pushes and global standards alignment (NIST, ENISA, ETSI, ISO, NCSC, CISA, MAS)
  • Lessons learned from early PQC migration and crypto-agility projects
  • What organizations are doing right now to become quantum-resilient
  • Emerging risks in QKD, quantum sensing, and quantum-secure architectures

This session is designed to be high-signal and vendor-neutral – suitable for security leaders, cryptographers, architects, engineers, researchers, and policymakers.
