Don't miss the Welcome Reception
IT Nation Connect officially kicks off with a Welcome Reception on Wednesday at 6:00pm—food and drinks will be provided. The reception is located just off the Event Centre.
Pro tip: Register and pick up your badge beforehand to avoid lines.
Download the mobile app
Our official event app is the best way to plan your days, find your way around, give feedback on sessions and speakers, and connect with other attendees.
Pro tip: Turn on app notifications to stay up to date on all the important IT Nation Connect news during the event.
Step 1: Search IT Nation Events in your device's app store
Step 2: On the Explore tab, enter the passphrase ITN2022

Plan ahead
Our most successful attendees know that the key to success at IT Nation Connect is planning ahead. Before leaving for the event, use the mobile app to add breakout sessions to your schedule to maximize your experience on-site. With 30 exhibitors in our Solutions Pavilion, coming up with a game plan for who you want to visit helps you make the right contacts for your business.
Pro tip: Adding a session to your schedule on the mobile app does not guarantee you a seat. All breakouts have first-come, first-served seating.
Event attire
We're pretty laid back at IT Nation Connect—think jeans, a company polo, and some comfortable walking shoes. Be sure to check the weather to pack accordingly.
Bring a guest or add a colleague
There's still time to add a guest for social events or a colleague to your event registration! We've created several ticket options for you to enhance your conference experience by bringing colleagues, family, or friends.
