Tamil Nadu channel community to converge at Puducherry for CONFED-ITA Summit 2026

The Confederation of Information Technology Associations (CONFED-ITA), Tamil Nadu and Puducherry chapter, is set to host its flagship annual summit from June 19 to 21, 2026, at Ananda Inn, Puducherry. The three-day event, organised in association with the Federation of All India IT Associations (FAIITA), is expected to be one of the largest gatherings of IT channel professionals in South India this year.

The CONFED-ITA Summit 2026, themed 'Innovate. Collaborate. Elevate.', will bring together more than 1,800 IT dealers, representatives from 28 district associations, and an estimated 550 to 600 key delegates under one roof. Organisers describe it as "more than a summit — a place to collaborate," underscoring the event's emphasis on forging meaningful business partnerships alongside knowledge exchange.

Announcing the summit, CONFED-ITA President and Summit Chairman Pratheesh Mathew said the conclave would serve as a critical platform for the IT channel community to engage directly with leading technology brands, explore newly launched products, and participate in structured business interactions. "We are bringing the entire ecosystem together — dealers, distributors, vendors and policymakers — to shape the future of the IT channel in our region," he said.

The summit will feature a series of B2B breakout rooms designed for focused business conversations, product showcases, and direct engagement between channel partners and industry decision-makers. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience the latest technology innovations firsthand and interact with senior representatives of major brands.

The programme will be preceded by pre-summit engagement initiatives, including targeted email and WhatsApp campaigns across Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, as well as industry symposiums in the run-up to the event. Post-summit value additions have also been planned, including exclusive follow-up webinars, regional B2B activation programmes, dealer meets, and district-level events aimed at sustaining momentum beyond the three days.

The summit is open for sponsorship participation across multiple categories - Title Sponsorship (Rs. 15,00,000), Platinum (Rs. 12,00,000), Gold (Rs. 8,00,000), Entertainment and Gala Dinner Sponsor (Rs. 6,00,000), Silver Stall (Rs. 2,50,000), and Stall Sponsorship (Rs. 1,50,000), with special branding opportunities including Delegate Kit Sponsor, Lanyard Sponsor, and Lunch Sponsor, also on offer.

With Puducherry serving as the backdrop, a city that uniquely blends colonial heritage with a thriving modern economy, organisers are positioning the summit not merely as a business conference, but as an experience that fosters community and long-term professional relationships within the IT fraternity.
