ITCS Darmstadt

The ITCS – Information Technology & Career Summit – has been bringing fresh momentum to the German IT trade fair and career landscape since its inception in 2018. More than just an acronym, ITCS represents a modern blend of IT conference, tech festival, and career fair. Held each spring at the state-of-the-art science and congress center darmstadtium in the heart of Darmstadt, the event is organized by ITCS Conference GmbH, headquartered in Frankfurt. In addition to Darmstadt, the company hosts the summit in several major German cities including Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, and Frankfurt.

What sets ITCS apart is its strong focus on current and future-oriented topics in information technology. These include cybersecurity, cloud computing, data protection, artificial intelligence, IT infrastructure, and network security. Attendees gain first-hand insights into cutting-edge technologies—through keynote speeches by international experts, hands-on workshops and masterclasses, and showcases of innovative solutions from leading IT companies. ITCS thus offers not only valuable input for professional development but also a targeted platform for networking between young talent, seasoned professionals, and top employers in the tech industry.

Exhibitors represent a diverse range of sectors, from IT service providers and software developers to cybersecurity start-ups, research institutions, and industrial corporations. The primary audience includes students, recent graduates, IT professionals, and decision-makers who share a strong interest in innovation, career development, and technological exchange.

The choice of location is no coincidence: Darmstadt is recognized as one of Germany’s leading science cities, home to excellent universities and renowned research institutions. The darmstadtium offers a high-tech environment and outstanding accessibility, with direct connections to public transport and Frankfurt Airport—making it an ideal meeting point for IT enthusiasts from across Germany and beyond.

The ITCS takes place annually, and therefore for the third time previsibly in April 2026 in Darmstadt.
