What QG Media does

QG Media, operating as the trading name of Qatalyst Global Ltd, is a London-headquartered B2B events and digital content company founded in late 2011. The company organizes conferences, summits, webinars, executive dinners, and virtual events targeted at senior technology, cybersecurity, IoT, and industrial decision-makers across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. Its portfolio is structured around five event series brands — CS4CA (critical infrastructure cyber security), ManuSec (manufacturing security), CyberSeries (regional cyber summits across ANZ, UK, USA, France, Benelux, Spain, Italy, Nordic, and DACH), OTsec (operational technology security), and ISMG Events — supplemented by an Executive Dinners format and four digital newsrooms (CS4CA, ManuSec, Manufacturing Data, Cyber Series) plus the seQure digital publication.

Underlying technology consists of event management and registration platforms, webinar and virtual event delivery infrastructure, and content management systems powering the newsrooms; no proprietary AI, patents, or unique technical differentiation is described. The business is positioned as part of the Information Security Media Group (ISMG) and reports an attendee base that is 78-93% senior decision-makers, with events drawing participation from 38-78 countries and featuring steering committees drawn from government, academia, vendors, and end-user enterprises.

Revenue mechanics rely primarily on B2B sponsorship sales to enterprise technology vendors and solution providers, with secondary streams from delegate registration (some free webinars at €0.00, paid event passes), paid speaking opportunities, executive dinner hosting fees, and digital content. Pricing is largely quote-based for sponsorship and speaking packages, with disclosed group delegate discounts of 10% for 3+ attendees and 15% for 5+. The customer base spans large enterprise logos (IBM, Dell, Amazon, Cisco, SAP, Google, Schneider Electric, BP, Shell, Pfizer, Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems) and government entities (DHS, FBI), and distribution is driven by event-driven field sales, a personal outreach model for sponsorships and speaking engagements, and digital channels including LinkedIn, YouTube, and a free mailing list.
