Congress@it-sa 2026: High-Level Professional Exchange

The Congress@it-sa offers IT security managers, industry experts, and solution providers an exclusive environment for in-depth knowledge transfer and intensive professional exchange. Away from the dynamic activity of the exhibition halls, the NCC Ost provides a focused, professional atmosphere where practical insights, strategic perspectives, and pioneering technology approaches take center stage.

This is where conversations with real added value emerge: Participants benefit from well-founded expert presentations, lively discussions, and direct dialogue opportunities with leading specialists from across the IT security sector. The Congress@it-sa is therefore the ideal platform to explore current developments, new threat scenarios, and innovative security solutions in depth.

For Exhibitors: Present Your Expertise at Congress@it sa

As an exhibitor, you have the opportunity to actively contribute with a half-day or full-day session and present your expertise to a highly qualified audience. Use this platform to highlight your key topics, position your company as a thought leader, and generate valuable leads.

You can find an overview of the service package here (PDF).

Bookings can be conveniently made via the Shop.
