Swiss IT Forum(s) Le Grand-Saconnex

The Swiss IT Forum(s), formerly known as LEC Geneva, is an annual trade fair for IT decision-makers and digital innovation. Organized by BY Connect S.A.S., the event has evolved into one of Switzerland’s most significant industry gatherings. It traditionally takes place in autumn at Palexpo Geneva in Le Grand-Saconnex near Geneva. Rather than being a conventional IT trade show, the forum positions itself as a hands-on platform for knowledge sharing, networking, and digital transformation, with a clear focus on the business application of technology.

A defining feature of the event is its topical relevance and depth. It not only highlights technological trends but also emphasizes their practical application in day-to-day business operations. The forum covers a wide range of subjects—from cloud technologies, cybersecurity, data analytics, and artificial intelligence to DevOps, digital collaboration, green IT, Web3, and modern infrastructure solutions. A particularly strong focus is placed on generative AI and large language models, exploring real-world use cases, strategic integration, and responsible AI practices. Additional topics such as data mesh, predictive maintenance, cloud security, identity and access management, and observability further underline the event’s importance for professionals across the digital economy.

The Swiss IT Forum(s) is aimed specifically at a professional audience, including IT managers, entrepreneurs, project leaders, marketers, CTOs, and software providers. It is not a consumer-oriented event but a specialized platform for decision-makers. A notable addition is the "IT Jobs Corner"—a dedicated area for recruitment and on-site interviews—which makes the event particularly attractive for both employers and job seekers in the tech sector.

Palexpo Geneva, the venue, offers state-of-the-art facilities, excellent infrastructure, and immediate proximity to Geneva International Airport, providing ideal conditions for such a high-level event. Geneva itself—an internationally connected hub for organizations, financial service providers, and IT companies—offers a fitting backdrop for a forum focused on the key technological and economic drivers of the digital future.

The Swiss IT Forum(s) is more than just a fixed date on the trade fair calendar; it is a think tank, learning platform, and stage for innovation. It brings together key players in digital transformation within a professional setting. Those seeking to understand how IT solutions are successfully implemented in practice, which technologies will shape the future, and how companies can achieve sustainable digital growth will find targeted insights, actionable solutions, and valuable inspiration—expertly curated and delivered at the highest professional level.

The Swiss IT Forum(s) will take place on 2 days from Wednesday, 30. September to Thursday, 01. October 2026 in Le Grand-Saconnex.
