Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo returns to Orlando, Florida on October 18–21, 2027, according to Gartner's conference calendar. Gartner is taking sign-ups for updates on the 2027 agenda and speakers while it develops the programme.

What it is

Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo is Gartner's conference for CIOs and senior IT executives, combining analyst-led sessions, networking with peers and an exhibit floor of solution providers. The 2026 programme was organised in tracks covering agentic AI and emerging tech, strategic planning and AI strategy, leadership and change management, cybersecurity and architecture, talent and AI literacy, operating models and sourcing, business value and cost optimisation, data and analytics, and infrastructure and cloud.

Practical details

• Analyst one-on-ones. Private 30-minute meetings with Gartner analysts are available only to paid, registered full conference attendees, not to exhibitors or exhibitor session passholders, and are booked first-come, first-served.
• Book limited sessions early. Roundtables, workshops and Meetups require pre-registration through the Gartner Conference Navigator app.
• Exhibit Showcase. Solution providers meet attendees in the Exhibit Showcase during daily receptions.
• Not just for clients. Gartner says attendance is not limited for non-clients who have paid registration.
