This year marks the 10th edition of IQ Day – a milestone that reflects not just the longevity of an event, but the evolution of an idea. What began as a day focused on training day has grown into a vibrant, cross-office gathering that captures the full spirit of Itecor: expertise, curiosity, and meaningful connection.

“When we started, the idea was very pragmatic,” recalls Cécile, Head of HR and the driving force behind IQ Day. “We offered different streams, technical and soft skills, and employees could choose their sessions based on what they wanted to learn. But there wasn’t much space for sharing, collaboration or even for fun at the time.”

Over the years, IQ Day has evolved from a multi-stream training day into a variety of formats, including a “marketplace” of workshops, a unified single-track agenda, and even fully immersive digital experiences during the Covid era. Alongside these shifts in structure, the programme itself has been just as diverse: case studies showcasing office success, deep dives into emerging technologies, and sessions focused on human skills and team-building workshops. Past editions have explored everything from artificial intelligence and sustainability to mindful leadership and creative problem-solving, with our own colleagues contributing powerful case studies and lessons learned from their work. What has remained constant is the presence of speakers who act as “eye-openers” – people who expand horizons, open minds, and spark curiosity.
