PITS 2026 — Public IT Security Congress

PITS — the Public-IT-Security Congress — is Germany's flagship event for IT security in the public sector. Two days at the Hotel Adlon Kempinski bring together IT leaders from federal, state and municipal authorities, plus industry, academia and the security vendor ecosystem. The 2026 motto is "Heroes and Heroines in the Background." Expect substantive sessions on AI in security operations, cloud usage by public administration, building IT security capacity, and the daily reality of defending public-sector systems against cyber attack. Highly relevant for anyone selling into the public sector, working on regulated AI/cloud deployments, or building security products for institutional buyers.
