Here is the largest verified England-only 2026 cyber events calendar I could assemble from organiser pages, university listings, Meetup chapters and conference sites. One irritatingly necessary caveat: a claim like “every cyber event” is never fully stable because local meetups, student events and hackathons get added all year. So treat this as a live, research-checked master list, not holy scripture handed down from the cloud.

May 2026
3rd May
BSides Birmingham 2026, Aston University Student Union, Birmingham. The main BSides Brum page is vague on the date, but the event subpage and site material point to 3 May 2026; the sponsor pack separately lists 16 May 2026, so there is a source conflict here and I would treat the organiser page date as the stronger live listing. Humans do enjoy making calendars harder than necessary.
7th May
Cyber Security: SecRec – Recruiting & Vetting Securely, Sheffield.
13th May
Cyber Security: SecRec – Recruiting & Vetting Securely, Leeds.
26th May
No major England-wide flagship cyber conference with a firmly verified public date turned up in the sources I checked for late May, but several regional communities remained active, including OWASP chapters, ISACA chapters, Yorkshire Cyber Security Cluster and South West Cyber Security Cluster.
June 2026
2-4th June
Infosecurity Europe 2026, ExCeL London. Still one of the biggest cyber-security events in Europe, with the 2026 edition running Tuesday to Thursday in London.
9th June
London Cybersecurity June 2026 Business Networking Reception, The Sterling in the Gherkin, London.
13th June
BSides Leeds 2026, Cloth Hall Court, Leeds. One of the more established northern community cyber conferences.
25th June
London Cybersecurity Mayfair June 2026 Business Networking Breakfast, Bonds Mayfair, London.
July 2026
Last week of July
QinetiQ-led NCSC CyberFirst Advanced Course for sixth-formers, University of Kent, Canterbury campus. This is one of the clearest cyber-skills pipeline events publicly listed for July in England.
July overall
July is thinner in public listings than spring and autumn. That does not mean nothing is happening. It means many local meetups and smaller university events had either not published dates yet or were trapped inside rolling Meetup/Eventbrite pages. The communities themselves are active, especially OWASP London, OWASP Manchester, ISACA London, Yorkshire Cyber Security Cluster, and regional cluster groups.
August 2026
4-6th August
Cyber Security CDT Summer School 2026, Bristol/Bath CDT network. Bristol lists the 2026 summer school for 4 to 6 August 2026.
September 2026
15th September
teissLondon2026: Resilience, Response & Recovery, 10 Union Street, London Bridge. A second major teiss London event in the autumn.
15-16th September
IET Cyber Security for Critical Industries Conference, London. One of the stronger industrial and critical-systems cyber conferences in England.
29-30th September
International Cyber Expo 2026, Olympia London. A major London event mixing expo, summit and national-security-adjacent cyber themes.
September, month confirmed
The Future of Cyber Security Manchester – Autumn edition, Manchester United Football Ground. Cyber News Group lists the return of its autumn Manchester event for September 2026, though I did not find a final day number published on the page I checked.
October 2026
October, month confirmed
The Future of Cyber Security Leeds, Leeds. Cyber News Group lists this as a new Leeds event launching in October 2026, but the exact day was not yet published on the page I checked.
22nd October
ISACA Northern England Chapter – Half Day Event, Manchester. The Eventbrite organiser page shows a chapter event in October Manchester. The title is generic in the snippet, but it is a bona fide cyber/governance community date to watch.
November 2026
3rd November
Cyber Squeeze UK&I, Titanic Hotel, Liverpool. Eventbrite describes it as an industry-led executive event for senior cyber-security leaders.
10th November
UKsec Summit 2026, London. A senior cyber-leadership summit focused on resilience, supply chain risk, ransomware, AI risk and talent.
November, month confirmed
Cyber News Group also lists November 2026 for a further event in Newcastle, but that is not in England, so I have excluded it from the main list because geography is apparently still a thing.
December 2026
No major England-based December 2026 cyber conference with a clean public organiser page surfaced in the sources I checked
That may change later in the year, especially for London meetups, BSides-style community events, and chapter socials, but I did not find a December 2026 England event I was comfortable presenting as verified from the public pages above.
Recurring communities worth monitoring through 2026
London
OWASP London Chapter, ISACA London Chapter, and wider London information-security Meetup listings are active and keep adding events throughout the year.
Manchester
OWASP Manchester and regional cyber networking organisers continue to post community events.
Bristol and South West
OWASP Bristol, South West Cyber Security Cluster, and related South West organiser pages remain active, though some 2026 dates were still sparse or rolling.
Yorkshire
Yorkshire Cyber Security Cluster is actively publishing 2026 events.
