The free-admission model is central to its reach across the Nordic IT professional community, attracting software engineers, cloud architects, security professionals and DevOps practitioners from Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark. The 2026 edition introduces a dedicated Cyber Security Summit as a new feature within the existing AI and Big Data track. ## What Stockholm Tech Show covers programmatically The six co-located shows are: AI and Big Data, Cloud, Cyber Security and Cloud, Datacentre, DevOps, and Mobile Expo. Each track runs its own programme of keynotes and technical sessions, with the Cyber Security Summit launched for 2026 led by ethical hacker David Jacoby. Tracks are designed for practitioners rather than strategic executives, with sessions on implementation, architecture decisions and real-world case studies. ## Who attends Stockholm Tech Show - Software engineers, developers and architects across cloud, DevOps and data platforms - IT security professionals and cybersecurity teams - Infrastructure and datacentre managers - Mobile and digital product teams - Technology vendors and solution providers targeting Nordic enterprise buyers - Startup teams building in enterprise tech verticals ## Notable speakers Confirmed speakers for 2026 include Dr David Barnes, former Chief AI Ethics Officer of the US Army and AI governance advisor to IEEE, DARPA and NATO; David Jacoby, a renowned ethical hacker leading the Cyber Security Summit; and Patrick Debois, widely credited as the pioneer who named and launched the DevOps movement.

Stockholm Tech Show is primarily a practitioner event: content is technical, tracks are specialty-specific and sessions assume prior working knowledge of the domain. It is not structured around C-suite keynotes or enterprise sales. Executives attending typically do so to understand market shifts, not to make procurement decisions on-site. ### How does free admission work? Registration for the exhibition floor and all co-located conference sessions is free of charge. There is no premium delegate ticket tier. Exhibitor and sponsorship packages cover the event's commercial revenue. This model has been consistent across multiple editions. ### Is there online access or replay? Stockholm Tech Show is primarily an in-person event. There is no systematic replay platform or livestream, though individual session recordings may appear on organiser social channels post-event. ### Who is Stockholm Tech Show NOT designed for? Not suited for: (1) executives seeking high-level strategic roundtables with peers; (2) investors or VCs looking for deal flow or portfolio companies; (3) professionals outside enterprise IT and software sectors; (4) healthcare, energy or finance sector events without a technology implementation angle; (5) consumer-facing digital products without enterprise buyers. --- ## Editorial take *Stockholm Tech Show's free-admission multi-track format creates unusually wide reach across the Nordic IT workforce: its Kista venue puts it in the middle of Sweden's tech industry geography, which makes it less a destination event and more an industry fixture.* ## How to register and what it costs Registration is free. Visit stockholmtechshow.se to register as a visitor. Exhibitor enquiries are handled separately by CloserStill Media. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### When and where is Stockholm Tech Show 2026? 26–27 May 2026 at Kistamässan, Massmötesvägen 1, 164 40 Kista, Stockholm, Sweden. ### What is the working language? Sessions are conducted in English and Swedish. The main keynotes and Cyber Security Summit are in English to maximise accessibility across the Nordic region. ### Are the six tracks completely separate or can attendees move between them? All six shows co-locate in the same venue, so attendees can move freely between tracks and stages throughout both days. There is no separate badging or access system per track. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://stockholmtechshow.se/ | | Register (free) | https://stockholmtechshow.se/ | | DevOps track | https://stockholmtechshow.se/devops/ | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-11 **Next review:** 2026-06-10 **Notes:** Attendee count of 5,000+ sourced from organiser; Cyber Security Summit is a 2026 addition. **Variables:** 38/52 **Concept definition:** not applicable
