CIST 2027, the 12th International Conference on Computer and Information Science and Technology, is back in Prague, Czech Republic from 15 August 2027 to 17 August 2027, once again bringing the sector together in one place. It serves as a meeting of minds, where fresh research meets hard-won practical experience. Held every year, each edition stays fresh and timely. International ASET is at the helm, and their attention to the small things is what regular attendees notice most.

Location matters, and Prague delivers. It brings together the infrastructure of a major event city with the warmth of a place used to hosting guests from abroad. Getting to Prague is simple thanks to its airport links and well-developed local transport network. Hotels close to the venue fill up around event dates, so booking early is wise — Prague is a popular destination year-round. Leave a little time to explore: Prague's dining, culture and attractions make the trip about more than just the event.

The agenda spans Technology, Computer Science and Information Science, with something for both newcomers and seasoned professionals. There is plenty for everyone, from headline talks to intimate workshop spaces. Structured matchmaking and informal meetups help attendees find the right people. Running in parallel at the same venue, ICBES 2027 and EECSS 2027 widen what a single visit covers.

The ideas you pick up and the people you meet tend to outlast the event by a long way. Simply put, CIST 2027 is where decision-makers, specialists and curious newcomers alike come to think, connect and get ahead.

Because hotels near the venue can fill up around the event dates, visitors are advised to arrange travel and accommodation in Prague early.
