IT Partners 2026: looking back at the highlights with ielo!
IT Partners 2026 delivered on all its promises. Two intense days filled with valuable conversations, strategic discussions, and fresh perspectives on the challenges shaping the B2B market. This year's edition was even more special for ielo as we celebrate 10 years of commitment to B2B fibre services.
And on the ielo stand, one message caught everyone’s attention :
ielo is the new black.
A playful pop culture reference (series fans will get it 😉), but above all, a belief forged through 10 years of hands-on experience, a milestone we are proudly celebrating this year: our model has become the obvious choice. And with ielo, FTTO continues to establish itself as the benchmark for business connectivity.
A B2B Market with Rising Expectations
The 2026 edition confirmed a clear trend: expectations in the B2B telecom market have reached a new level. The challenges no longer revolve solely around fibre access.
Today’s priorities are:
- Deployment times
- Infrastructure reliability
- Operational excellence
- The ability to manage the entire value chain, from installation to network operations
For the past 10 years, ielo has chosen to invest in a robust infrastructure designed specifically for operators, with full control over its network and operations. It is a demanding model, but one built for the long term.
FTTO has now become an essential standard for enterprise connectivity, and we are proud to be one of the key players driving this transformation.
10 Years Worth Celebrating
IT Partners 2026 was also an opportunity to celebrate the ielo Group’s 10th anniversary. And we wanted to do it in true ielo style: professional… and welcoming.
Here’s what was happening on our stand:
- Our astronaut made its very first appearance in the aisles of a trade show.
- A “Wall of Fame” filled with Polaroids, capturing authentic conversations and meaningful connections.
- Nearly 300 ginger shots shared, providing the energy needed for two days of intense discussions and helping fuel future projects.
- A symbolic birthday cake, enjoyed alongside our partners.
Because behind every infrastructure project are people. And it is those strong relationships that truly make the difference.
Thank You for an Incredible 48 Hours
A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to meet us, exchange ideas, challenge our teams, share their projects, or simply celebrate this 10-year milestone with us.
We leave the event energised and more determined than ever to continue building a robust, sustainable, and high-performance infrastructure.
And yes… more convinced than ever that ielo is the new black.
