connect26

Partner Day - Restaurant Halbinsel Au

September 16, 2026: 4.00pm - 11.00pm

The Partner Day on September 16 is where the LEGIC connect26 experience begins. Before the main stage lights up, industry leaders come together for an evening that sets the tone for everything that follows. A boat ride on Lake Zurich and an intimate apéro and dinner at Restaurant Halbinsel Au provide the backdrop for the conversations that matter most, happening naturally among the people who shape this industry. The event is exclusive to LEGIC partners, if you are eligible to join, clear your schedule.

Conference Day - StageOne

September 17, 2026: 8.30am - 6.00pm

This is where the industry converges. The main stage brings together world-class keynotes on digital identity, mobile and wallet-based access, and the trends defining the future of security infrastructure*. Beyond the stage, an exhibition area, side events and hands-on experiences offer something for every level of curiosity. But connect26 is more than a conference. It is the platform where the entire digital identity ecosystem meets. End-users, technology providers, innovators and decision-makers, all in one place, elevating each other.

* Programme language: English. Selected highlights will be shared afterwards, but the full experience is exclusively for those in the room.
