Put quantum readiness into action
This year’s theme—From Blueprint to Build—reflects the shift from quantum awareness to implementation. The question is no longer if organizations should prepare for post-quantum cryptography (PQC). It’s how.
Hear from security and technology leaders on how to assess cryptographic risk, prioritize migration, and build a practical path to post-quantum readiness.
Watch on demand
Big questions. Bold perspectives. Don't miss a word.
“The bad news is we don't know how much time we have. The good news is that we do have some time.”
— Dr. Colin Soutar, Global Quantum Cyber Readiness Leader, Deloitte
“Make PQC migration your problem before it becomes your customer’s problem.”
— Karina Sirota Goodley, Senior Security Product Manager, Microsoft
“The CBOMs can get out of date almost minutes after you start to run the analysis.”
— Avni Rambhia, Principal Product Manager, Post-Quantum Cryptography, AWS

Agenda
World Quantum Readiness Day
Introduction and Opening Remarks
Start Here: A Quick Win for Quantum Readiness
See how LGT turned quantum readiness into action with a cross-functional team, targeted pilots, and an early move to TLS 1.3 and hybrid key exchange.
What, When, and Why: The Global Regulatory and Standards Landscape
Hear how PQC regulations, standards, and timelines are evolving around the world—and what organizations should prioritize as they plan their transition.
Demystifying PQC Complexity
Learn how to break PQC migration into manageable stages, prioritize critical assets, and address the dependencies that can make enterprise-wide migration complex.
