Top Sessions to add to your Agenda
By Eric Ingrand, Chief Marketing Officer at Cloudi‑Fi and now 3× Zenith Live Participant
As a third-time attendee, or sixth if I count US and EMEA events, I’m excited to head back to Zenith Live 2025 EMEA, this time in the beautiful city of Prague. From June 16–18 at the Prague Congress Centre, this event is where the sharpest minds in cloud cybersecurity, networking, and the Zero Trust community come together to innovate, connect, and push boundaries.
Here’s your inside guide to the sessions that matter most—and a behind-the-scenes preview of our own Cloudi‑Fi breakout session, where we’ll be joined on stage by Greg Bennett, Director of Technology Alliances at Zscaler, and by one of our joined customers sharing real-life ZTNA implementation use cases.
Don’t Miss the Zscaler Partner Briefing — 16 June (Invite Only)
The event unofficially kicks off on Monday, 16 June, with the Partner Briefing, a must-attend for Zscaler partners.
While this session is exclusive to partners, it’s one of the most insightful parts of the event. In Las Vegas last week, Zscaler CEO Jay Chaudhry joined the stage to share a strategic update on recent acquisitions and platform evolution. If Prague follows the same pattern (and it will), expect key updates on the Zscaler partner ecosystem, GTM alignment, and technology integrations.
When: Monday, 16 June
Where: Prague Congress Centre (Invitation only)
