Yerevan IT Conference · Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex · 29–31 May 2026
For Armenian and international engineering teams, product managers, regional outsourcing buyers, the Enterprise Incubator Foundation delegation, the Ministry of High-Tech Industry delegation, CIS and CEE product leads and the local university tech-club association that need booth apparel, high-volume giveaways, lead-capture gifts, VIP kits and booth material delivered on opening day of the stand at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex. EUR + 21% VAT invoiced through FACe and the Suministro Inmediato de Información (SII) of the Agencia Tributaria (AEAT), with 18–24 working-day production from the Madrid hub and 24–48 h delivery to a named consignee at the Karen Demirchyan Complex or at the partner hotel near Republic Square.
The Yerevan IT Conference is the main annual gathering of the Armenian tech industry and the regional event that pulls together product and engineering teams from Yerevan, Gyumri and Vanadzor with outsourcing buyers from the EU, CIS and the wider South Caucasus. The 29–31 May 2026 edition lands in late spring at the Karen Demirchyan Complex, where the three-hall exhibition format hosts developer booths, partner stands and the hackathon finale on the third day. For brand teams the issue is not just printing the artwork: it is coordinating quantities by shift (the audience is heaviest during the keynote day and lighter during the hackathon finale), pre-labelling by recipient tier (engineering vs. product vs. outsourcing buyers), avoiding queues at the venue entrance where badge control is strict, and keeping margin for emergency restock at the stand when tote bags run out before the hackathon pitch rounds.
A typical brief that lands on our desk combines 220 GSM organic-cotton polos and T-shirts with embroidery or screen print of the engineering team or product brand, softshell-style light layers for partners who walk between the three halls (Yerevan in late May is warm outdoors and cool inside the air-conditioned complex), recycled-cotton tote bags and 500 ml bottles with single-colour engraving for fast counter hand-out, thick-ribbon lanyards with metal clip and pocket holders for the credentialed attendees, 5 000–10 000 mAh power banks with integrated cable for qualified outsourcing conversations, and gift boxes with engraved hip-flask, pin and notebook for lead outsourcing buyers invited to the closing dinner at the Yerevan Marriott or at the Tufenkian Heritage Hotel. The audience skews male and over 28, which shifts the apparel split toward medium and large, and the colour palette tends to favour navy, anthracite and burgundy over lighter shades that mark easily during long conference days.
220 GSM organic-cotton polos and T-shirts with embroidery or screen print of the engineering or product brand, softshell-style light layers for partners walking between halls, caps for outdoor pitches at the venue plaza, and aprons for hospitality staff at the hackathon bar.
Recycled-cotton tote bags with two-colour screen print, 500 ml stainless-steel bottles with single-colour engraving, A6 notebooks with recycled-paper cover, blue-ink pens with cardboard barrel, thick-ribbon lanyards with metal clip and transparent credential holders for conference badges.
5 000–10 000 mAh power banks with integrated cable, wireless chargers, USB-C hubs, cork and bamboo desk sets, and in-ear headphones with charging case — reserved for conversations with outsourcing buyers, CIS and CEE product leads and ministry officials identified in the exhibitor CRM.
Boxes with engraved hip-flask, pin and premium notebook for lead outsourcing buyers and invited partners, numbered sets for Ministry of High-Tech Industry officials, 12 L backpacks with padded compartment for technical press, and neutral packaging with personalised card for the Enterprise Incubator Foundation delegation.
The Yerevan IT calendar leaves little margin: the average engineering team or product company locks the product list and quantities six weeks before doors open and needs a physical prototype approved four weeks before the late-May dates to avoid marking errors that get paid in reprints. We usually hold reserved stock in the Madrid hub for recurring pieces (white polos, tote bags, lanyards, bottles) that we can produce and deliver in 7–10 working days; for pieces with bespoke embroidery (engineering team logo, product brand, cohort number) the window stretches to 10–14 working days. For VIP sets and gift boxes we recommend closing the order 4–5 weeks before so we can present a physical prototype to the client and validate packaging, engraving and personalised card against the live appearance of the brand identity.
The Yerevan leg is reserved for last-mile and emergency restock: when stock runs out before the hackathon pitch rounds we can ship a top-up from our partner warehouse in the Kentron district with scheduled delivery to the Karen Demirchyan Complex in under 24 hours. The customs flow for lots arriving from outside Armenia is coordinated with the client's freight forwarder and stays out of our invoice: we deliver the goods with the import customs declaration already processed by the client, ready to enter the Karen Demirchyan Complex through the main loading dock and be signed for by the named consignee at the stand.
The B2B invoice is issued in EUR with 21% VAT added, dispatched via FACe and the Suministro Inmediato de Información (SII) of the Agencia Tributaria (AEAT); for intra-EU clients with a valid VIES number reverse-charge applies without Spanish VAT; for Armenian and non-EU clients the invoice is issued without VAT citing the relevant EU directive article, and the client settles the Armenian VAT through its own filings. Each delivery is signed at destination and, when requested, with a photo of the material unloaded at the stand or in the partner hotel concierge. The returns flow is documented on the day after breakdown with a manifest of surplus stock that we collect from the Complex and consolidate for the next edition or for the regional roadmap in Gyumri, Vanadzor or the free economic zone of Hrazdan.
The Yerevan IT Conference 2026 takes place 29–31 May 2026 at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex (Tsitsernakaberd Highway, Yerevan), with stand build on 28 May, conference opening on 29 May at 10:00 and hackathon finale on 31 May. The official dates are confirmed on yerevanit.am; we use that reference for every shipment that cannot tolerate a date slip.
Yes, with a prior slot. The Complex loading dock has restricted loading windows (morning of 28 May) and requires a delivery note signed by the exhibitor; we recommend combining that delivery with backup stock at the partner hotel near Republic Square or at our Kentron-district warehouse for emergency restock during the conference.
We coordinate with the client's freight forwarder. We invoice in EUR and deliver the material to the forwarder's warehouse in Yerevan with the import customs declaration already processed by the client; the forwarder handles the clearance and the final delivery to the Karen Demirchyan Complex through the main loading dock.
