Qiskit Fall Fest 2025

Qiskit Fall Fest is returning for its fifth annual installment to once again bring the quantum community together for a global celebration of quantum technology, research, and collaboration. Qiskit Fall Fest is a collection of quantum computing events that allows students, researchers and industry professionals to participate in various quantum-themed activities — including quantum challenges, hackathons, coding competitions, workshops, social events, and more. Each year, IBM® partners with a select group of university students and other volunteer hosts to help them plan and run the global roster of Fall Fest events. 

In honor of the 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, this year’s Qiskit Fall Fest theme will celebrate the century-long history of quantum science and innovation. We’re looking for volunteers all around the world to host their very own events as part of the Qiskit Fall Fest lineup. 

Interested in hosting your own Fall Fest event? Click here to learn more about how you can contribute and register for one of the Qiskit Fall Fest informational sessions we’ll be holding this summer for prospective event hosts. Please note that prospective event hosts must attend at least one informational session to get access to the event host application. Please submit all registrations for the Qiskit Fall Fest informational sessions and/or mailing list by Wednesday, 13 August.
