In an era of heightened geopolitical competition and conflict, the cognitive dimensions of security are becoming central to how power, influence, and resilience are shaped. Understanding how the information environment is evolving and where future strengths and vulnerabilities will lie is essential for preparedness for the decade ahead.
This LinkedIn live discussion brings together Sinead Bovell, Founder of WAYE, Futurist and Strategist, and Jānis Sārts, Director of the NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence to explore the emerging dynamics of the Next Generation Information Environment. Drawing on insights from the NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence’s NextGen Information Environment project, the conversation will examine how influence is exercised today, how it may change over the next ten years, and what strategic capabilities are needed to safeguard security in an increasingly contested cognitive domain.
The live event serves as an introduction and preview of a forthcoming closed-door roundtable that will take place on the margins of the Munich Security Conference 2026, convening experts and decision-makers to dive deeper into these challenges.
Join us for a forward-looking discussion on security, influence, and resilience in the information age.
