Beyond being Slovakia's most prestigious technology conference, Spring ITAPA 2026 serves as the epicenter of innovation, where visions become reality.

ITAPA EXPO ZONE 2026: Showcase Your Innovation

At the heart of the action is the ITAPA EXPO ZONE: a dynamic, interactive space designed for high visibility in the fields of AI, cybersecurity, IT, and digitalization.

It is tailored for everyone who doesn't just want to talk about the future and advanced technologies but wants to demonstrate them directly, boost their brand awareness, or connect with potential partners and clients.

At our last event, ITAPA Health & Care 2026, we hosted over 30 exhibitors. Now more than ever, we recognize that collaboration with exhibitors is crucial and must be seamlessly integrated into the organization's core.

According to our satisfaction surveys, 81% of our conference participants visit the EXPO ZONE and its EXHIBITORS.

Why should YOU exhibit at Spring ITAPA 2026?

The ITAPA EXPO Zone shatters the myth of boring exhibition booths. We are looking for partners who bring interactivity, hands-on technology, and real-life demonstrations that will stop passersby in their tracks.

As an exhibitor, you gain a strategic advantage:

• A Showroom for Your Innovations: Showcase your apps, AI models, robotic devices, real-time security audits, or digitalization tools directly to decision-makers from both the private and public sectors.

• Networking that Carries Weight: Forget cold, impersonal email marketing. Here, new partnerships are born over coffee, networking sessions, and interactive demos. Meet investors, future clients, and industry leaders all in one place.

• Validation and Feedback: Test your prototypes and solutions in front of a professional audience that truly understands technological trends.

• Building a Leadership Brand: Being in the EXPO Zone means being part of the conversation about what "Digital Slovakia" will look like in the next decade.

Themes Driving Spring ITAPA 2026

This year, we focus on the pillars of modern society where innovation is a necessity, not an option:

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) From generative models to process automation. If you have a product based on Agentic AI, you are exactly what we are looking for—a solution that doesn't just simplify work but actually performs it.

2. Cybersecurity Protection of critical infrastructure (penetration testing, security software development), combating hybrid threats (simulations or products identifying anomalies and defending data integrity before a breach occurs), and Zero Trust architecture. Energy, transport, and public administration are under constant pressure. Are you an exhibitor who can demonstrate real-time threat monitoring, grid resilience, and early warning systems? Then this application is for you.

3. Digital Transformation Building Smart Cities, e-Government, and modern digital services that simplify life. The goal is not to "digitalize chaos," but to showcase ecosystems where technology works invisibly for the people.

• Building Smart Cities: Show how your product manages smart lighting, optimizes urban traffic via sensors, or efficiently manages municipal processes.

• Next-Gen E-Government: Public administration must be proactive, not reactive. Present solutions that eliminate bureaucracy—digital products and enhanced services that handle citizen requests automatically thanks to Agentic AI or other smart solutions.

• Modern Digital Services: Whether it’s cashless payments in transit, cloud solutions for municipalities, or inclusive interfaces for seniors. Digitalization must be accessible to everyone.

"ITAPA EXPO Zone is not a standard exhibition—it is a laboratory of ideas. A short demo of your software at the booth can open doors to projects of national significance."
