About the Event

During the Networking Lunch Hour at IIT2026, attendees are invited to join focused, theme-based discussions designed to spark meaningful connections across industries and interests. Offered as a complementary part of the conference experience, this format brings together small groups for peer-to-peer exchange in a structured yet relaxed setting.

Each day, participants can choose from four curated discussion topics—ranging from emerging technologies to leadership and entrepreneurship—and head to clearly marked Networking Hubs. After collecting lunch, attendees will join roundtable conversations led by Table Facilitators who will help guide introductions, share prompts, and ensure everyone has a chance to participate.

The one-hour session includes two 25-minute discussions with a short transition in between, giving attendees the chance to explore multiple topics and expand their network. Offered on both Thursday and Friday, the Networking Lunch Hour is your opportunity to meet fellow innovators, exchange ideas, and build connections that last beyond the conference.
