Review: GID FutureNow 2026 – IT Trends Up Close

In March 2026, the GID FutureNow Tour made stops in five German cities: Düsseldorf (March 17), Frankfurt (March 19), Hamburg (March 24), Leipzig (March 25), and Munich (March 26). The events offered decision-makers and IT professionals the opportunity to experience current IT trends and practical solutions directly at the airports.

Together with partners such as Dell Technologies, Fortinet, VMware by Broadcom, and TiM AG, GID presented exciting insights into the digital transformation of security-critical environments.

The focus was on topics such as:

• Dell Automation Platform & Private Cloud – Automation and secure cloud solutions for enterprises
• HCI and the future of VMware & Broadcom – Modern infrastructure architectures put to the test
• Integrated cybersecurity with Fortinet Security Fabric – Protection of critical IT processes
• Holistic IT planning – Strategies for securing and optimizing key business processes

Participants also had the opportunity to discuss their personal IT challenges with GID CSO Alexander Marr and other experts. Each day of the event was rounded off with an exclusive airport tour, which facilitated discussion and networking in a relaxed atmosphere.

The GID FutureNow Tour once again demonstrated how practical knowledge transfer, technological expertise, and direct on-site discussions can provide companies with lasting support in their digital transformation and IT security efforts.
