Q-Day Summit™

Quantum Risk · Post-Quantum Cryptography · QKD
Quantum breakage is no longer theoretical

The Q-Day Summit™ By Qadastra™ ofthe June 9, 2026 is the first executive summit dedicated exclusively to the cryptographic transition and to securing critical infrastructures in the face of quantum disruption.

While the threat”Harvest Now, Decrypt Later“(HNDL) weighs on sensitive data, the Q-Day Summit™ brings together decision-makers and experts to transform systemic risk into strategic agility.

The 2 pillars of Q-Day Summit

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)

  • Migration strategies and cryptographic inventory.
  • Standardization (NIST) and integration into existing systems.
  • Management of obsolescence and hybridization of protocols.

Quantum Communication & QKD

  • Physical infrastructures and key distribution networks (Quantum Key Distribution).
  • The emergence of the Quantum Internet: sovereignty issues.
  • Securing critical data flows (finance, energy, defense, etc.).

Event format

01
Keynotes
Visions of global thought leaders.
02

NEXO 2045

NEXO 2045 will be speaking at the opening of the Q-Day Summit™.

Coming from the Metroplex universe, NEXO offers a prospective projection on the convergence between artificial intelligence, digital sovereignty and quantum transition.

The decisions taken in 2026 are already structuring the gap between:


  • Those who secure their quantum sovereignty
  • Those who underestimate the speed of the changeover

NEXO does not entertain.


It exposes a future conditioned by our present choices.
