The Munich Security Conference has a long tradition and, over the past decades, has become a not-to-be-missed event in the field of worldwide security policy.

Founded in 1963 as "Wehrkunde Conference", the Conference's topics have developed under the auspices of its chairman of three decades, the German publisher Ewald von Kleist, in line with the ever changing security challenges. While at the beginning the security threats in the Euro-Atlantic area were the central themes discussed by the Cabinet Ministers, members of parliament, high-ranking representatives of the armed forces, scientists and representatives of the media who met in Munich, later Conferences extended their scope to include new issues and other regions. 

From 1999 onwards, the Conference hosted by Horst Teltschik increasingly involved Central and Eastern European and Asian countries, and business representatives were invited to take part. Since 2008 Ambassador Wolfgang Ischinger has chaired the Munich Security Conference, which under his leadership will focus in particular on future security challenges in line with the concept of "networked security". With the Munich Young Leaders initiative the Conference also involves the future security community in the debate.
