IT Management 2026 Strategy Summit

IT Management Strategy Summit 2026: Rethinking Cloud Sovereignty

How should IT position itself when AI, cloud sovereignty, cost pressures, and geopolitical dependencies are all on the agenda at the same time? At the IT Management Strategy Summit 2026, CIOs, CDOs, and senior IT executives will come together to discuss precisely these questions.

Under the guiding principle “IT as the Architect of the Future”, the focus will be on topics such as IT Strategy 2030, the cloud and digital sovereignty, AI at scale, cyber resilience, the platform economy, and the future role of IT as a business enabler. Presentations, workshops, case studies, and targeted networking sessions will provide opportunities to exchange ideas on concrete strategies and real-world experiences.

Our Workshop: How to Close the Sovereignty Gap in the Cloud

Digital sovereignty sounds compelling in theory – but in practice, it often leads to a conflict of objectives: Reducing dependence on international hyperscalers can mean having to forgo familiar cloud functionality and automation.

This is precisely where Codesphere comes in. A sovereign software and control layer decouples applications from the underlying infrastructure. This allows applications to be operated across public clouds, European cloud providers, and on-premises infrastructures while retaining cloud-native functionality.

In a joint workshop, Codesphere, as the technology provider, and the ISO-Gruppe, as the consulting and implementation partner, will demonstrate how this approach can be integrated into existing IT landscapes and leveraged for specific cloud and sovereignty strategies.

Representing the ISO-Gruppe, Johannes Reichel, Managing Director, will be on site to lead the workshop.
