20th Annual Conference itSMF Czech Republic

The Power of Change

Comfort Hotel City Prague

January 28 - 29, 2026

The Power of Change

Have you ever wondered why new processes, technologies, or frameworks don’t deliver the expected results? Organizations have spent decades adapting to continuous transformation—driven by technology, evolving business needs, and shifting human expectations. From the rise of AI to the movement toward Humanizing IT, we have seen how innovation shapes the way we work. Yet despite these advancements, success is not guaranteed.

For years, we have focused on processes, technologies, methodologies, and frameworks, constantly adapting to their new versions. Yet, as these elements rapidly evolve and improve, one constant remains: people. Too often, we overlook the human factor in our pursuit of efficiency and innovation. The challenge ahead is not just about adopting new technologies but ensuring that organizations evolve in mindset, culture, and values to truly empower their people.

Now, as we celebrate the 20th annual itSMF Czech Republic conference, it is time to focus on the next frontier: leading meaningful, lasting change that puts people at the center.

 

Patronage for the itSMF Conference

About the Conference

We expect 250 participants from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and other countries. The composition of visitors will be very diverse, ranging from technicians to top managers, from academics to practitioners, from newcomers to the most senior experts. They will represent companies from all industrial sectors and the public sector.

The program will run concurrently in two halls. English will be the conference language in the main hall. Translation from Czech will be provided by AI. In the adjacent multilingual hall, lectures will be held in Czech, Slovak, and English. The networking party on Wednesday evening is a great opportunity to meet industry experts or potential customers and find out what the mood is like on the market.
