At PCG Academia, we are constantly thinking about how to improve our portfolio of IT products and services for the higher education. For years, a proven source of inspiration for our further development are national and international conferences and trade shows. During these events we discover innovative IT solutions that we later deliver to Polish universities as part of our product partnerships.

In the first two quarters of 2022, after a long hiatus due to the pandemic, we have planned our participation in a number of events organized in Europe and North America. Below is our top 5 of the most valuable conferences that we will attend and that we can recommend to representatives of Polish universities.

Thanks to our partnerships, PCG Academia has discounts for selected educational trade shows and conferences.
