We are proud to announce the 15th Jubilee edition of the To Be Secure (2BS) Forum, taking place on October 3–4, 2025, at the Hotel Splendid in Budva, Montenegro, hosted by the Atlantic Council of Montenegro.
For fifteen years, the 2BS Forum has stood at the forefront of shaping national, regional, and international security frameworks. Since its founding in 2011, it has grown into the leading politico-security forum in Southeast Europe, bringing together global leaders, policymakers, security experts, and visionaries to confront the most pressing geopolitical and security challenges of our time.
This milestone year comes at a pivotal moment for Euro-Atlantic security. In the wake of mounting geopolitical instability, conventional and hybrid threats, and the weaponization of information and AI, the need for unity, resilience, and innovation has never been greater. The 2BS Forum continues to provide the platform where bold ideas, forward-looking strategies, and impactful cooperation take shape.
Over the years, 2BS has:
- Engaged leaders and experts from 60+ countries
- Hosted 500+ speakers across 200+ panels
- Brought together 5,000+ participants, both in-person and online
From heads of state to global innovators, from academia to defense and security experts, the Forum has built a unique community committed to strengthening transatlantic bonds and safeguarding open societies.
This year’s edition will be marked by two landmark events:
- October 3: Celebration of the 15th Jubilee of the 2BS Forum
- October 4: Launch of the 2BS StratCom initative, a new high-level platform focused on strategic communications, resilience to information warfare, and countering malign influence.
With over 500 in-person participants and thousands more joining online, the 15th Jubilee 2BS Forum will once again serve as the premier stage for dialogue, cooperation, and strategic vision.
Secure your spot today and be part of the premier security dialogue in Southeast Europe.
Registration is open until September 21, 2025:
