Join us at the Shabtai Shavit World Summit on Counter-Terrorism — a premier global gathering dedicated to addressing the evolving landscape of terrorism and international security.
Each year, this pivotal summit brings together thought leaders, policymakers, security professionals, and academic experts from over 65 countries to engage in high-level discussions and strategic collaborations. From landmark events that shaped the global security agenda to the most pressing challenges of today, the summit provides a unique platform for dialogue, reflection, and innovation.
Over four days, participants will experience a dynamic program featuring keynote addresses from senior officials, expert panel discussions, workshop sessions, and special memorial tributes honoring those who have fallen in the fight against terror.
The summit will cover a wide array of critical topics, from regional instability and technological threats to state-sponsored terrorism, ideological extremism, and the broader geopolitical shifts impacting global security.
Whether you’re in government, academia, the private sector, or civil society, this event offers essential insights and connections for anyone committed to understanding and shaping the future of counter-terrorism.
The Shabtai Shavit World Summit early bird registration fee is $400 until July 31, 2025, after which the full price will be $500.
