it-sa Expo&Congress – The Success story

The it-sa Expo&Congress has its origins in the Security Forum at Systems Munich. Since 2009, it has been held as an independent exhibition in Exhibition Centre Nuremberg. The wide range of products and solutions, a large number of special display areas and Congress@it-sa offer the industry the opportunity to exchange views on the most hotly discussed IT security topics. In just ten years, it-sa Expo&Congress has evolved into Europe's largest trade fair for IT security solutions, reinforcing the necessity of giving the topic of IT security its own annual platform.

With it-sa 365, a year-round digital extension of it-sa Expo&Congress was launched in 2020. IT security providers showcase their companies on this platform through corporate profiles and product information as well as in online presentations; regular highlights such as the IT Security Talks are other recurring fixtures in the calendar of the IT security community.

2025 it-sa Expo&Congress set new records and once again made the Exhibition Center Nuremberg the "Home of IT Security" for 28,267 trade visitors (+9 percent) from 64 countries and 993 exhibitors in 5 halls.
