On December 20, IT Career Conf 25/26 will take place — the largest online conference about IT careers in Ukraine, bringing together more than 10,000 participants and over 10 leading tech companies.The organizer is Neoversity, an online IT university.

The main goal of the conference is to give Middle and Senior professionals a clear understanding of which skills will be critical in 2026, how artificial intelligence is changing professional requirements, and who market leaders are looking to hire into their teams.

In 2026, employers expect completely new competencies even for classical roles. We are launching IT Career Conf 25/26 to summarize the year and build a bridge between Ukrainian IT professionals and the business sector. Our goal is to show the real map of the rapidly changing tech world so that every participant leaves the conference with clarity and a solid growth strategy,” says Anton Chornyi, Rector of Neoversity, CEO of GoIT.
