ACCELER8IT 2026
Where technology leaders focus on what actually works

Solution Study

30-minute talks in which ACCELER8IT partners show a concrete solution to a concrete problem – from IT cost optimisation and AI-powered observability and SecOps to AI in HelpDesk platforms. No buzzwords: how it works, where it makes sense and what it looks like in practice.

Tools & Platforms Showcase

Tools & Platforms Showcase is dedicated to modern tools, platforms, and technologies that support the development and operation of IT environments. Discover practical use cases, proven approaches, and real-world experiences from organizations leveraging these solutions to improve efficiency, reliability, and the quality of software delivery.

Panel Discussion

Our dynamic panel discussions delve into a wide range of topics, providing attendees with valuable insights and practical strategies that can be applied to their own organizations. Engage in thought-provoking conversations, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the latest trends and innovations. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with leading experts and learn from their successes and failures.

Oxford-style Debate

One motion, two sides and hard arguments. Proponents and opponents clash over one of the key dilemmas of enterprise IT – this year: should we roll out AI before we put our data, architecture and processes in order? You leave with arguments from both sides for the conversations in your own organisation.

Deep Dive

80-minute, small-group sessions in Deep Dive Zones A and B that go deep into a single topic – from the real value of AI projects and budgets, through cyber resilience beyond compliance, to team autonomy and accountability in human–AI teams. Less listening, more conversation.

PowerSkills Presentation

Get ready for a high-energy, fast-paced learning experience with our dynamic 30-minute presentations. Led by top experts in their fields, each presentation will deliver powerful insights and practical tips on a specific skill or topic.

Lightning Talks

IT practitioners with just 5 minutes on stage. Each story is a single lesson – a decision, a mistake or a breakthrough – told fast and honestly. Lightning Talks open the ACCELER8IT Night Talks evening block.

Fireside Chat

An intimate on-stage conversation instead of a presentation. Questions rarely asked at conferences – this year about staying calm and clear-headed under pressure, and what technology leaders can learn from special forces.

Conlea Zone

A space for our community to openly exchange ideas, engage in inspiring conversations, and connect through formats like round tables. The Conlea Zone is a permanent feature of our conferences — an additional stage we often hand over to participants to make networking even more meaningful and effective.

Workshops

Hands-on sessions in the Workshop Zone where you work on real examples – this year including managing detection rules as code and voice as an interface to company systems and data.
