If you've ever wondered what quantum computing really is, this is your chance to find out. During the event, we'll explore what makes quantum computers fundamentally different from the computers we use every day, why this technology is attracting so much attention, and what makes it so exciting. Quantum computing is still a young and rapidly developing field, but its potential is already being explored in areas such as drug discovery, optimization, and the simulation of materials and physical systems that are extremely difficult to study with classical computers. We'll take a closer look at where quantum computing stands today, what researchers are currently working on, and what this technology could make possible in the future.

Qiskit Fall Fest is a global series of quantum computing events, organized around the world with support from IBM Quantum. This year marks a decade since IBM introduced the world's first open-access quantum computer, and Qiskit Fall Fest 2026 celebrates that milestone with events happening on campuses and in communities everywhere. We're proud to be hosting our own edition of Qiskit Fall Fest 2026 right here at IT4Innovations in Ostrava.

Benefits for the attendees, what will they learn:

Discover where quantum technology stands today and why it matters, connect with others who share an interest in the field, and get the chance to ask questions directly to researchers. The event will also offer a close look at a real quantum computer.
