An annual one-day IT conference in Lingen that has run since 2005, gathering IT professionals, companies, and decision-makers from the Emsland region to discuss artificial intelligence, data infrastructure, IT security, and digital business, at the IT Center Lingen.
cim lingen (community in motion) is an annual one-day IT conference in Lingen, Lower Saxony, running since 2005. The event brings together IT professionals, businesses, and decision-makers from the Emsland region and neighbouring areas to discuss developments in artificial intelligence, data management, IT security, cloud infrastructure, and digital business transformation. The 2025 edition marked the conference's 20th anniversary.
cim lingen is a regional community event rather than a national or international conference. Its positioning is explicitly local: it serves the Emsland IT community and positions the IT Center Lingen as a hub for practitioners and businesses in an area that lacks proximity to Hamburg, Hanover, or other major German tech hubs. The event has run continuously since 2005, which gives it a degree of continuity unusual for regional one-day formats.
