Blending IT & Business21st Annual Conference of itSMF Czech Republic

Location: Comfort Hotel City Prague

Date: January 20 and 21, 2027

Same interest, different point of view. Let’s finally speak the same language.

IT and business are no longer two separate worlds. They shape the same outcomes, share the same risks, and rely on the same decisions.

Yet in many organizations, it still feels as if everyone is playing a slightly different game.

IT delivers outputs. Business expects results. Each has its own priorities, terminology, and sometimes a different view of who is responsible for what. The result is often a provider–customer relationship, even though both sides are ultimately working toward the same goal.

The 21st annual conference on Blending IT & Business looks beyond simple coordination. It explores how organizations can create the conditions for shared understanding, joint decision-making, and shared responsibility for business outcomes, value, and risk.

As always, we won’t stay in theory.

The conference will bring real organizational experience to the table: what worked, what failed, what had to change, and what others can learn. We will discuss decision-making, priorities, governance, operating models, and what it actually takes for IT and business to communicate and work together as partners.

Frameworks, methodologies, and tools have their place. But they are not the goal in themselves. What matters is understanding when they help, when they fall short, and how they can be adapted to the context in which they are used.

So don’t expect a single “best practice” that solves everything. Expect diverse perspectives, open conversations, and practical examples from real-world organizations.

IT and business have been working toward the same outcome for a long time. It’s time to start acting like it.

Why should I come?

What will you take away from the conference?

  • Look beyond “IT vs. business.” See what shared responsibility for outcomes can look like – not just on an organizational chart.
  • Hear what really worked and what didn’t. No polished success stories without the messy bits. Real experiences, wrong turns, changes of direction, and lessons your organization can use.
  • See how others make decisions together, from priorities and investments to value, cost, risk, governance, and accountability.
  • Challenge a few things you currently take for granted. Compare different approaches, operating models, and experiences across different types of organizations, because there is rarely one “best practice” that works for everyone.
  • Take something useful home. Take new perspectives, real-world experience, and perhaps a few questions to ask in your own organization.
