2023 Edition

• 6:30 pm : Review of Assises 2023
• 7:00 pm : What about peace?

When you're dealing with attacks every day of the year, the geopolitical context is a formidable barometer....

The impact of the conflicts that have been multiplying on Europe's doorstep for over a year now is colossal, and the cyber community knows the risks and consequences better than anyone. For this last Circle of the year, we wanted to offer a breath of fresh air. We want to talk about Peace. Because it's a driving force for individuals and citizens the world over, because it can teach us lessons and inspire us in our professional and personal lives, and because we too often forget to speak out positively. Alexandre Kouchner, journalist and political analyst, welcomes Lucas Menget, war reporter, double Bayeux Prize winner, former managing editor of France Info, author of "Petit précis de survie stratégique". During this discussion, and in the light of their knowledge of current conflicts, they will evoke the notion of Peace and share their perception of how individuals and organizations can contribute to it.
