Everything you need to know before joining THREAD — from logistics to agenda.
General / About THREAD
What is THREAD?
Thread, powered by Filigran, is the annual gathering of the global threat intelligence and cyber defense community. It's a community-driven experience, not a vendor conference, built around real practitioners and real leaders.
Is THREAD a Filigran product launch or sales event?
No. THREAD is explicitly positioned as not a vendor conference, trade show, or product launch. It's community-first and practitioner-led, with no sales agenda.
Registration
When will registration open?
Registration is now open! Please request your seat via the registration form. We will confirm your participation within one week.
Is THREAD open to everyone, or is it invitation-only?
It's curated and selective by design, not an open trade show. Registrations are individual and non-transferable.
How much does it cost to attend?
Attendance is completely free of charge.
How can I convince my boss to attend?
Need to convince your boss? We've got you covered.
Why should I attend?
Honestly, why wouldn't you? One day, zero sales pitches, a room built entirely around people who actually do the work: hands-on labs, case studies, fireside chats, and the kind of peer conversations that don't happen at a typical vendor event.
Logistics
When and where does THREAD take place?
Thursday, October 15, 2026, at Les Jardins Saint Dominique, Paris (7th arrondissement). One full day, in person.
Should I bring my laptop?
Yes, bring it. The afternoon labs and workshops are hands-on: you work directly in the platforms, so a charged laptop with a modern browser is all you need. Wi-Fi is provided on site. Plenary sessions and roundtables need nothing but your attention.
Will there be a broadcast of the event?
No, the event will not be live-streamed. However, the sessions will be recorded and made available afterward for those who are unable to attend in person.
Are my travel expenses (hotel and transport) covered by Filigran?
No, travel expenses are entirely at your own charge.
What language is the event in?
THREAD is an international event: all plenary sessions, tracks, workshops and labs are conducted in English. Materials and slides are in English. Informal conversations happen in every language the community speaks — but no French is required to get full value from the day.
Agenda
What does a day at THREAD look like?
A shared morning plenary with keynotes, customer stories and a major product announcement, then an afternoon split across the Leaders, Industry and Practitioner tracks, and a garden cocktail with an open bar to close the day.
When will the full agenda be published?
It is live now in the Agenda section, and sessions and speakers are still being added as they are confirmed.
Will there be a product announcement?
Yes, a major product announcement is planned during the morning plenary.
Community
What's the "Community Zone"?
It is the heart of the event, active all day: product demo booths for OpenCTI, OpenAEV, XTM One and XTM Hub, ask-me-anything sessions with the product managers who build them, roadmap conversations, and the Women in CTI corner.
Can I influence what Filigran builds next?
Yes. Roadmap conversations with the product managers run all day in the Community Zone, and they carry on afterwards: the XTM Platform roadmap is public, and so is the vote — vote for the features you want next across OpenCTI, OpenAEV and XTM Hub.
