Decision-makers from politics, administration, business and technology meet at SCCON to jointly develop concepts for a secure and future-proof public IT infrastructure. The main topics are the digitalization of public authorities, sovereign IT systems and the modernization of administrative processes.
Program focus of SCCON 2025
This year's program offers expert presentations, panel discussions and networking opportunities with a special focus on artificial intelligence and cyber security in the public sector.
