About ISSS
The ISSS conference is one of the largest events of its kind in the entire EU and it is held regularly at the Aldis Congress Center in Hradec Kralove every spring. The 28th year of the conference takes place on 18th and 19th May 2026.
The main topics of the ISSS conference usually include presentations and discussions reflecting the current state of eGovernment not only in the Czech Republic, issues of electronic identity and effective communication of citizens with public administration or problems in the field of cyber security. Participants are also interested in topics covering the implementation of the latest technologies and trends, further development of the necessary infrastructure, continuation of projects within smart cities and regions, digitization of specific areas of public administration such as health, justice, related issues and much more. As part of the program, the results of the popular Golden Crest and Czech At competitions are also held annually.
Among the active participants, a number of members of the government, dozens of senators and deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, heads of state organizations, governors, mayors and other representatives of state administration and local governments regularly appear. Rare guests from abroad also regularly take part.
