Key takeaways:
Qiskit Fall Fest is returning in 2026, and we’re looking for hosts all around the world to lead this year’s events.
Each year, Qiskit Fall Fest brings together students, educators, and researchers for a global series of quantum computing events. Hosted primarily on university campuses and organized by local leaders, these events create unique opportunities to learn, build, and connect through hands-on quantum experiences.
Interested in hosting an event? Register for an informational session to learn more. These virtual sessions will give you everything you need to become a successful host—including guidance on planning a meaningful event for your community and special insights into the Qiskit Fall Fest program itself.
Registrations for upcoming informational sessions must be submitted by Tuesday 23 June.Informational sessions take place on Friday 26 June and Monday 29 June. Attendance at a minimum of one session is required for all prospective event hosts.
The theme for Qiskit Fall Fest 2026 celebrates a decade of quantum on the cloud—marking ten years since IBM introduced the world’s first open-access quantum computer. In honor of that milestone, materials for this year’s events will highlight key experiments and moments from the past decade—from early demonstrations to the large-scale 100+ qubit workloads researchers are exploring today.
If you’d like to participate in Fall Fest but don’t plan on hosting an event, you can use the same registration link to sign up for the Qiskit Fall Fest mailing list, which will keep you up-to-date with all the latest details on this year’s events.Registrations for both the Fall Fest mailing list and host informational sessions will close on 23 June.
Qiskit Fall Fest is a global lineup of community-led quantum computing events, including:
IBM Quantum partners with selected student leaders and volunteers each year to help plan and execute these events worldwide.
In 2025, more than 32,000 participants engaged in Fall Fest activities hosted by 150 organizers, whose efforts helped grow the quantum communities in their regions. We hope to connect with even more participants and event hosts in 2026.
