The Warsaw Security Forum (WSF) is an international conference focusing on security and defense issues. It takes place annually in Warsaw, Poland, and brings together politicians, experts and business representatives to discuss current security challenges and strategies. The forum covers a wide range of topics, including transatlantic relations, European security, cybersecurity, hybrid threats and regional conflicts.[1]

The Warsaw Security Forum is organized by the Casimir Pulaski Foundation, a Polish think tank dealing with international relations and security issues. The aim of the forum is to promote dialog and cooperation between NATO allies and partners and to contribute to strengthening the international security architecture.[2]

History of the Warsaw Security Forum

The Warsaw Security Forum was founded in 2014 by the Casimir Pulaski Foundation and has been held annually ever since. The aim was to create a platform where experts and decision-makers can regularly discuss security policy challenges and strategies.[3]

In the years that followed, the forum grew in importance and continued to attract more and more participants, including politicians, military leaders and experts from around the world. Discussions covered topics such as NATO strategies, regional security issues and the changing geopolitical landscape.[4][5]

The forum continued to expand in 2017, adding cybersecurity, hybrid threats and security in the Baltic Sea region to the topics covered. Special panels and workshops were also introduced to enable in-depth discussions on selected topics.[6][7]

Over the years, the forum developed into an established meeting for the exchange of views on transatlantic and European security issues and continued to take place in a hybrid format with virtual and physical events despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic itself became an important topic, especially in connection with the resilience of security systems.[8][9]

From 2021, the forum focused on current security policy developments, including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, China's role in the global security architecture and NATO's adaptation to new threats.[10][11][12][13]

Patricipants

The Warsaw Security Forum brings together over 1,500 representatives of governments, international organizations, industry, think tanks and civil society actors from over 90 countries to discuss foreign, security and defense policy issues in the context of transatlantic cooperation. This diverse participation makes the Warsaw Security Forum a dynamic and influential forum for the development of common security strategies and solutions to global challenges.[1]
