The 2025 Circular IT Netherlands Annual Conference offers a unique opportunity to discover how circular solutions create value within the ICT sector.

On November 12th, professionals will gather at the Zonheuvel Conference Center in Doorn for the fourth time to share knowledge and network on sustainable IT practices. The conference, now in its fourth year, focuses on extending the lifespan of ICT assets, deploying hardware that matches actual workloads, and leveraging circular opportunities for both profit and sustainability.

During the conference, experts will cover a variety of topics, from expanding portfolios with refurbished hardware and lifecycle management to the return and processing of used equipment and financial services.
