Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2026
October 18–22, 2026 • Orlando, FL
About this conference
Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo is the largest of Gartner's events and is built specifically for CIOs and senior IT executives, drawing 9,000+ attendees to the Gaylord Palms in Orlando. The programme delivers Gartner's own research and analyst positions on digital transformation, AI, cloud strategy and enterprise IT leadership, alongside a vendor exhibition and structured peer networking. The distinguishing feature is one-to-one analyst meetings, which attendees book in advance and which many treat as the primary reason to attend — the sessions are available as research year-round, the analyst time is not. Pricing sits well above most technology conferences and is aimed at organisations buying enterprise software at scale. Gartner client organisations often have seats included in an existing contract, which is worth checking before registering.
