SUMMARY:Global Forum: FIMI & Hybrid Threats
DESCRIPTION:About the Forum\nOver the past two years\, FIMI has shifted from isolated disinformation campaigns to coordinated\, AI-enabled operations that combine narrative manipulation\, cyber disruption\, economic pressure\, and reputational attacks — often running simultaneously. The threat is no longer niche. It targets governments\, democratic institutions\, corporations\, and civil society at the same time. \nThis forum brings together two focused days of expert-led sessions with 15+ speakers from leading research institutions\, governments\, and the security sector — full lineup to be announced soon. \nEach day runs as a continuous live marathon on Livestorm. You’ll receive two joining links — one for each day — delivered to your inbox after registration.
