The Annual Baltic Conference on Defence (ABCD)  serves as a prominent annual regional forum for security and defence discussions since 2006. ABCD is bringing together policymakers, military leaders, academics, analysts, and media representatives.  Focused on NATO and EU defence matters, the conference bridges regional concerns with the broader transatlantic security agenda. It provides a platform for the Baltic states to engage allies and partners in strategic dialogue, fostering shared perspectives and contributing to the development of collective defence policies.

The 19th ABCD will take place on 23-24 September 2025 at Cultural Hub of Tallinn.

More information about the conference program and speakers will be published soon. You can read more about event here: https://abcd.icds.ee/about/
