Registration closing 1 June: www.thehagueprogram.nl/the-hague-ti...

A huge thanks to our supporters, without whom none of this would be possible: @eset-nl.bsky.social, @huntandhackett.com, @thehagueprogram.bsky.social, @chainalysis.bsky.social.

Each of our speakers brings access to unique empirical datasets, and by sharing them, we hope to generate insights about digital threats that no single domain could uncover alone.

This year's edition will cover a wide diversity of topics: highly personalised covert influence operations, digital counterintelligence history, ransomware operations, developments in the APT landscape, AI's use in propaganda campaigns – and more.

Thrilled to share this year's keynote speakers for #HagueTIX2025: Margarita Z. Franklin and @ridt.bsky.social.

Excited to confirm our first speakers at #HagueTIX2025! Looking forward to the talks by Alexandra Gofman, @selenalarson.bsky.social, @milenkowski.bsky.social & @julianferdinand.bsky.social, @pearswick.press and Thomas de Zoete!
