PeakIT is the largest IT conference in Central Romania, proudly organized by the AgileHub NGO. Grown year after year, it is driven by a genuine desire to learn and to help one another grow.
Our conference is well known for its focus on learning and for creating a meaningful experience for speakers, partners, and attendees alike.
#NetworkingBeBune, #NoFlashyStuff, and #SimplyLearning are the values that define PeakIT.
But PeakIT is more than a conference — it’s a commitment to making a positive impact around us. Each year, we donate 10% of ticket sales to a local NGO that supports social causes or educational initiatives, amplifying our shared purpose of giving back to the community
Innovative Insights: Immerse yourself in cutting-edge workshops and presentations that explore the latest trends and innovations in the IT industry.
Community Building: Forge connections with like-minded professionals, strengthen the bonds of our IT community, and actively contribute to its growth.
Peak IT is organized by AgileHub (www.agilehub.ro, https://www.facebook.com/agilehub/, https://www.linkedin.com/company/13054692/).
AgileHub means free education for people of all ages. The NGO was created in 2013 with a mission of offering education in IT and non-IT related fields for adults and children.
Since the beginning we have been offering 100% free training courses, workshops, meetups, conferences – for adults and children all free of charge! All these activities are organized by and with the help of our volunteers - members of AgileHub or good friends and partners - that are IT specialists with practical (hands-on) experience in their field of choice.
● 100+ volunteers
● 270+ free trainings and workshops, plus 9 free medium-term courses, all dedicated to the IT community.

AgileHub is the NGO that organizes the PeakIT conference.
● AgileHub was founded in 2013 and is focused on offering free education through training (ranging from 1-2 day trainings to 16 week trainings), workshops (4-6 hour long) and meetups and coaching. More than 1600 unique participants from Brasov, Bucharest, Sibiu, Iasi, Cluj, Ploiesti and more cities have attended these education programs. More than 60% of them are recurring participants (some have participated to 15 different activities), which proves that our programs are useful of them.
● The concept has evolved organically over the years, expanding both its reach and impact within the IT community. What started as a local event has become a regional landmark for learning, networking, and collaboration. Each edition brings together hundreds of IT professionals, speakers, and companies who share the same belief — that learning and growth happen best in an open and supportive environment: #NoFlashyStuff #SimplyLearning
PeakIT started as a platform for AgileHub’s trainers to expand their impact and influence within the IT community.
Because our mission is to always improve and expand our curriculum, now we are also welcoming IT specialists that haven't joined AgileHub. These specialists can talk about and use their hands-on expertise to offer the participants all the tools they need to stay updated with certain topics - topics of great importance in the modern world.
We usually choose the speakers and invite them to be part of Peak IT. We do that by following the latest trends and newest technologies in the IT field, thus contacting people with great experience that have already made a name for themselves in the IT community.
This requires great effort and more personal interaction with each speaker. We think it's worth the effort as we aim for a great experience for our guests – you can see that from their testimonials

The first five editions of PeakIT were completely free for all participants, with all costs covered by our generous sponsors. These funds allowed us to organize the event, promote it, provide catering, and ensure a high-quality experience for everyone.
As AgileHub and PeakIT have grown over the years, so have the needs to sustain high-quality education and meaningful experiences. Starting with the 6th edition, we allocate a portion of the revenue to support other charitable organizations. The ONGO we support, will be announced on our website prior to registration.
After covering essential event costs — venue rental, catering, participant perks, and an excellent experience for our speakers — the remaining funds help us, at least partially, cover PeakIT’s operating costs, ensuring we can continue delivering impactful conference.”
PeakIT has reached a new evolution stage, providing knowledge from both national and internationally renowned speakers and trainers.
The first five editions Peak IT has been the only IT conference in Brasov area, and we are proud to have gained the trust of so many participants, guests and sponsors. This only confirms we are on the right track.
Not only our costs have grown exponentially but starting 2024 we want to emphasize more than ever that we want to make PeakIT one of the top conferences in Romania and at the same time bring our contribution, as a community, to society.
Hence, every year we partner with other NGOs to support their cause; we will choose from those with social causes that have proven to have an impact in Brasov;
The rest of the money will be used to finance the operational costs and to ensure a very good experience (location, coffee breaks, lunch, perks) during the conference.
We will always have very small fees as the goal of the conference is not to make profit. We are not a company specialized in organizing conferences, but an NGO whose mission is to offer high quality education and contribute to creating the place where we want to live and raise our families. Our motto continues to be "a tide raises us all" and the taglines we organize all our events are #NoFlashyStuff #SimplyLearning.
We strongly believe that a NGO’s purpose is to invest the funding in offering useful programs to its target groups and covering its operational costs.
This is why we invest the raised funds in organizing useful and impactful programs for adults and children. We aim to offer free of charge programs to all of our participants.
For example, we organize one-day technical trainings that focus on specific subjects, but also longer programs that take place for 8 to 12 weeks, such as “In-depth React by example”, “First steps in programming for children”, “Security Fundamentals”.
