All conference activities take place at the Cardo Roma. A healing mix of heritage, work hubs & hospitality In ancient Roman times, the Cardo was the central street that ran across a city. Lined with shops and food vendors, it was a social and economic hub; the beating pulse of the city. Fast-forward a few thousands years, and we give you Cardo Roma, a bustling place for passers-by, globetrotters and locals. 267 hotel rooms and 57 suites, tantalizing food experiences, the best spa in all of Rome, outdoor pool area and event spaces for every shape and size. Guests can take advantage of the shuttle service that runs directly into the city center, making it easy to explore Rome’s landmarks.

There are conferences you attend—and then there are conferences that actually move the needle. ICCC 2026 in Rome is firmly in the second category. This is where the global Common Criteria community shows up to do real work: aligning on standards, responding to regulatory pressure, and figuring out what comes next.
Start with what matters most—the content and the people in the room. ICCC remains the only event that brings together vendors, evaluation labs, certification bodies, policymakers, and end users in one place. And in 2026, that matters more than ever. Before the main conference begins, attendees can take part in the annual Common Criteria User Forum (CCUF) meeting. This is where the groundwork is laid. The CCUF provides direct insight into ongoing initiatives, technical priorities, and policy direction across the Common Criteria landscape. It’s a chance to engage early, understand what’s actually being worked on, and arrive at ICCC better prepared to participate at a higher level. If you want signal instead of noise, this is where you get it.
Then there’s the setting—and it’s not incidental. Rome delivers timeless inspiration. You’re surrounded by systems, structures, and ideas that have endured for centuries. It’s a useful perspective in a field that often chases short-term solutions. There’s something grounding about discussing long-term assurance frameworks in a city built on longevity.At the same time, Rome sits within the European policy ecosystem, making it a strategic location. Europe is setting the pace on cybersecurity regulation, and ICCC 2026 places you at the center of that momentum. Whether you’re navigating certification requirements, market access, or product strategy, being here gives you an edge.Getting there is straightforward. Rome’s Fiumicino Airport offers direct access from major global hubs, and once you arrive, the city is built to host. You’ll find world-class hospitality, with excellent hotels, efficient transport, and no shortage of things to see and do outside conference hours.
If you have time, Rome also serves as a base for quick, worthwhile excursions. A short train ride takes you to Tivoli, home to Hadrian’s Villa and the fountains of Villa d’Este—an easy half-day trip that delivers something completely different. Or head to Santa Marinella for a fast escape to the Mediterranean. You can step out of conference mode, reset, and be back the same day.
The food deserves mention—but keep it simple. Roman cuisine is built on discipline and execution. A few ingredients, done right. Stick to the classics, avoid obvious tourist traps, and you’ll be fine.
All of this adds up to something practical: ICCC 2026 is not just another event—it’s a strategic touchpoint. You get direct access to decision-makers, real insight into where Common Criteria is heading, and a setting that makes the time investment worthwhile.
Show up, engage, and take advantage of where you are.
