About Connect IT
SECOND EDITION – 7 MAY 2026 – ANTWERP EXPO BELGIUM
Connect IT is not a traditional IT fair, but a place where innovation comes to life. V-ICT-OR (Flemish ICT Organisation) and TMAB Business Events, in collaboration with Agoria and Belgium’s Cyber Security Coalition, are creating the ultimate meeting platform where technology, innovation, and a new generation of thinkers from diverse sectors come together. Here, ideas are shared that advance organisations and make our society stronger, smarter, and more future-oriented.
