New tickets for the AI Village and traffic rerouting for Kursaal Bern
Swiss Cyber Storm 2025, focusing on the theme of “Resilience in a mad, mad world” is now three weeks away.
New for this year’s conference is the AI Village, a co-located event featuring hands-on workshops, discussions and talks about artificial intelligence in cybersecurity. It’s a space for exchange between experts, beginners, makers, and the just curious. Access to the AI Village is included with a Swiss Cyber Storm entry ticket. More about the AI Village here.
While access to the AI Village’s demos, presentations, and poster sessions is unrestricted, seats at the workshops are limited. The first batch of workshop tickets was quickly gone, but there’s good news: We have increased the number of tickets available for the workshops. If you haven’t bought a Swiss Cyber Storm ticket yet, now is the time! During the regular ticketing checkout process, you can select up to two of the six available AI Village workshops.
Already have a conference ticket? No problem, you can still register for workshops by updating your registration. Just click on the link in the confirmation e-mail we sent you when you registered for the conference and change your registration details. If you can’t find the e-mail, go to the ticketing site and click the button at the bottom (“Request order link”).
We expect these new workshop tickets to be in high demand, so act fast!

Changed traffic routing for Kursaal Bern
This year, the city of Bern has prepared a big surprise: Kornhausbrücke, the large bridge spanning the Aare valley which provides us with a beautiful view of Bern’s old town, is undergoing renovation and is therefore closed to traffic.
- The journey via the Bern-Wankdorf motorway exit (2 km away) will remain unchanged.
- From Bern railway station, the replacement bus line 9A (in the direction of Schönburg/Viktoriaplatz) will take you to Viktoriaplatz in 5–10 minutes. After a walk of around 260 meters, you will reach the entrance to the Kursaal Bern.
- Pedestrians can still cross the bridge from the old town to the Kursaal.
For more details, maps of the rerouting and additional parking information, see here.
