What is Strider Summit? 
Strider Summit is an exclusive, invite-only gathering that brings together leaders from government, industry, and academia for three days of insight, conversation, and connection. Now in its fifth year, the global Summit focuses on defining the next frontier of intelligence—exploring how connected intelligence, security, and AI are reshaping how organizations understand risk and make strategic decisions in a rapidly changing world. 

When and where will International Strider Summit 2026 take place? 
International Strider Summit 2026 will be held at the Hôtel Royal Évian, in Évian-les-Bains, France from Tuesday, September 15th to Thursday, September 17th. 

What is the cost of attending Strider Summit? 
International Strider Summit 2026 is a paid event with a registration fee of $800 per attendee. This fee covers the full on-site Summit experience, including hotel accommodations, all sessions, meals, and curated excursions. 

In previous years, Summit attendance was complimentary, with attendees responsible for booking their own hotel. This year’s registration fee simplifies the experience by bundling accommodations and on-site programming into a single, all-inclusive registration. Attendees are still responsible for airfare and any personal expenses incurred during the event. 

When should I plan to arrive and depart for the event? 
Client-specific roundtables will begin at 1:00 PM on Tuesday, September 15th at the Hôtel Royal Évian. If you’re not a client or don’t plan to participate in the Roundtables, please aim to arrive by 5:30 PM to allow enough time to visit the event registration check-in desk before the Summit Welcome Reception at 6:30 PM on the Hôtel Royal Évian terrace. 

What if I want to extend my hotel stay? 
You can reserve your room for your desired travel dates through the event registration process. If you plan to arrive early or depart late, you’ll still be able to access the Strider-contracted rate of €650 plus taxes and fees. 

What if I need to make changes to my registration, such as modifying hotel or excursion selections? 
Please log in using your confirmation number (sent via email after registration) to edit your reservation. For any issues, please contact summit@striderintel.com. Hotel changes must be made by September 1st, 2026 to avoid cancellation fees. 

What can I expect at Strider Summit? 
Strider Summit offers a dynamic mix of thought-leadership sessions and panel discussions with industry experts, focused on the future of intelligence, security, and AI. Set against the backdrop of Lake Geneva at the Évian Resort, the Summit combines meaningful conversation and insight-sharing with optional, curated experiences that take advantage of the surrounding alpine and lakeside setting. 

This is not a user conference; however, Strider’s product team will be onsite to answer questions and offer live demos at the Product Demo Booth. 

Who will attend Strider Summit 2026? 
Strider Summit will bring together approximately 150 attendees, including current and prospective clients, invited industry experts, and government representatives. Attendees span a range of sectors—from Fortune 500 companies to leading research institutions and federal agencies—creating a unique environment for cross-industry insight and collaboration. 

Will confidentiality be maintained among attendees during the conference?
