Dates and location
it-sa Expo&Congress is held from October 27 to 29, 2026, in Nuremberg, Germany.
Overview
it-sa Expo&Congress is an IT security trade fair with an accompanying congress, organized by NürnbergMesse. It takes place once a year and brings IT security providers together with the security managers who buy their products and services.
The exhibition is complemented by Congress@it-sa, a conference program of mostly free topic blocks run by associations, industry bodies and exhibitors. Open forums host product-neutral expert talks on technology, management and legal questions, and a dedicated start-up area presents young security companies, together with a start-up award for the DACH region.
An online platform, it-sa 365, extends the event through the year with digital talks, recorded sessions, a company and product directory, a job board and a tool for finding the right expert.
