Similarly, the San Antonio InCyber Forum in June 2025 will bring together leaders in the cybersecurity space from around the world to discuss the latest technologies, innovations, and industry best-practices. Special focus will also be given to how to protect against constantly evolving cyber threats unique to the U.S. and how those threats specifically impact its allies in the hemisphere and other North American stakeholders.

"We're quite excited to be here in Montreal and can't wait to bring the InCyber Forum to America next June," said Vincent Riou, general manager of InCyber Forum Americas. "The expansion of the forum into North America – both Canada and, soon, the U.S. – is a natural extension of the forum's offering and unique programming which brings together commercial, policy, academic, and civil elements of the cybersecurity landscape around the globe."

The San Antonio delegation to Montreal includes representatives from the City of San Antonio, Visit San Antonio, greater:SATX, the University of Texas at San Antonio, Port San Antonio, the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, the CyberTexas Foundation, the U.S.-Mexico Foundation, and the San Antonio chapter of AFCEA International.

"San Antonio is the perfect location for the first U.S. edition of the InCyber Forum, and we look forward to previewing all that San Antonio has to offer here at the exciting Montreal edition of the forum," said Marc Anderson, president and CEO of Visit San Antonio. "San Antonio is America's fastest growing city and a major U.S. cybersecurity hub. We can't wait to welcome the InCyber Forum to the Alamo City next June."

"greater:SATX is thrilled to support the InCyber Forum as a host partner for this international event coming to our great city," said Jenna Saucedo-Herrera, president and CEO of greater:SATX. "Hosting the first U.S.-based edition of the forum in San Antonio speaks to the importance of our region within the global cybersecurity landscape. San Antonio has the largest concentration of cybersecurity companies outside of the Dulles Technology Corridor, near Washington, D.C., and is home to more than 1,000 cybersecurity companies. We are excited to welcome the global cybersecurity community to San Antonio and amplify the efforts of InCyber." 

"The U.S.-Mexico Foundation is a binational non-profit organization dedicated to fostering cooperation and bilateral understanding between the United States and Mexico," said Enrique Perret, managing director of the U.S.-Mexico Foundation. "Cybersecurity and the various cyber threats facing the U.S. and Mexico create a clear opportunity for collaboration and increased dialogue to protect important infrastructure and assets critical to future safety, security, and success of both nations."
