JCBRN Defence COE Annual Conference & 20th Anniversary Celebration

The JCBRN Defence COE Annual Conference is a flagship event that convenes leading experts, practitioners, and stakeholders to engage in the conversation shaping NATO’s CBRN defence.

Scheduled for the 7 and 8 October, 2026 in Prague, Czech Republic, the conference will serve as a platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and strategic discussion drawing upon the outcomes of the 2025 iteration as well as other priorities and emerging strategic topics in the field of CBRN defence.

With this year’s theme of NEXT 20 YEARS OF CBRN DEFENCE, the attendees of our Annual Conference can expect engaging presentations, interactive panel discussions, and networking opportunities designed to facilitate information sharing and promote dialogue on the future of CBRN Defence.

The Conference will be preceded by a celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the Centre in the evening hours of 6 October 2026, which will reflect and celebrate the Centre’s achievements, evolution, and enduring contribution to the Alliance and its partners.
