The KOMMUNALE is Germany’s biggest trade fair with a focus on the needs of local governments. From the 18th to the 19th of October, the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg will offer a venue for decision makers and experts to catch up on the latest solutions and services specifically for administrations. Increase Your Skills will be present with a stand for the second time. 

The KOMMUNALE is a trade fair and congress on a national scale and has established itself as a major meeting point for procurement specialists from local governments. The event offers a broad portfolio tailored to the needs of administrations in the areas of infrastructure, municipal IT, energy, traffic, marketing, and much more. The two-day congress of the Bayerischer Gemeindetag and two expert panels for exhibitors make the trade fair a one-of-a-kind event in Germany. Approx. 3,200 mayors and municipal employees in leading positions visited the fair the previous time it was held.  

The focal topic of this year’s KOMMUNALE will be digitalisation. In addition to the exhibition, the forums will provide a great opportunity for visitors and experts to connect. The talks will deal with current and future challenges, such as digitalisation, IT security, mobility, the energy transition, and their innovative solutions. 

Increase Your Skills’ experts look forward to welcoming the visitors at stand 9-126. The team will provide information on the awareness courses on data protection for local authorities and information security and show product demos of the Phishing Attack Simulator. IYS’ product KOMM-STARTER® is tailor-made for local governments and combines all of those components. “As is so often the case, with the topic of digitalisation there are two sides to the coin: opportunities and risks. Local governments in particular work with the sensitive data of citizens, and those data require special protection. Well-trained employees are key to ensure that security incidents caused by cyberattacks do not happen in the first place. With our KOMM-STARTER®, we primarily support local authorities to help them equip their employees in the best possible way”, says Carolin Andree. 

This year’s focal topic, digitalisation, comes with the additional highlight of the DIGITAL-Award ceremony in connection with the discussion panels, talks and seminars that are part of the accompanying DIGITAL-Talk and DIGITAL-Kongress. Visitors can find Increase Your Skills at Stand 126 in Hall 9, where they can get expert advice on increasing their local government’s cybersecurity and suitable awareness solutions.
