We look forward to continuing our work with you in the year ahead.

Book your hotel – Fall Member Meeting in Málaga, Spain
We are excited to welcome you to our Fall Member Meeting, taking place November 17–21 in Málaga, Spain. This event will bring our community together to advance committee work, share updates, and collaborate in person. On Wednesday and Thursday of that week, we will host joint meetings with ENISA focused on eID, Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), and SESIP — offering members a unique opportunity to engage directly with Europe’s cybersecurity agency on these priority topics. The week will also include a roundtable on HSM for EUDI as well as an Attestation Workshop. Register to attend and book your hotel.

Thank you for your continued engagement with GlobalPlatform. Your participation is what drives our ability to deliver secure, scalable, and interoperable solutions for a digital-first world.
