Climb Connect AI & Security Day - Climb Channel Solutions

AI & Security Day

From AI Hype to Secure, Deliverable Outcomes

11 June 2026 | Irish Stock Exchange, Dublin

(Euronext) 28 Anglesea Street, Dublin 2, D02XT25

Following the success of Climb Connect events across EMEA, we’re delighted to bring Climb Connect to Dublin for 2026, with a sharp focus on AI and Cyber Security.

This half‑day, insight‑driven event will bring together reseller partners, MSPs and leading technology vendors to explore how AI is reshaping cyber security, the challenges partners face today, and the opportunities emerging across the channel. Attendees will hear from Climb experts, industry leaders and key vendors through a mix of keynote sessions and interactive panel discussions, designed to spark practical takeaways and real conversations.

The day is as much about connection as it is content, wrapping up with a summer BBQ — the perfect setting to continue discussions, strengthen relationships and network with peers over food and drinks.

Thank you to our Sponsors
