it-sa Expo&Congress - Europe's leading trade fair for IT security

it-sa Expo&Congress is Europe's leading trade fair and one of the most important dialogue platforms for IT security, held annually at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre (NuernbergMesse) in Nuremberg, Germany. The 2026 edition runs 27-29 October 2026.

The fair covers the entire range of IT security products and services: hardware, software, training and consulting services, as well as Security as a Service. Key topics include cloud and mobile security, data and network security, the protection of critical infrastructures, and industrial security. Since 2009, it-sa has been the meeting place for decision-makers, experts and IT security officers from all sectors of the economy - industry, the service sector and public administration - and offers trade visitors a showcase of the IT security industry from Germany and abroad that is unique in Europe.
