The Nextcloud Community Conference is the annual gathering of the global Nextcloud ecosystem, bringing together developers, administrators, designers, and advocates who build and sustain the open-source collaboration platform. Since its inception, the conference has served as a vital forum for knowledge exchange, hackathons, and strategic discussions, reflecting Nextcloud's founding commitment to digital sovereignty, transparency, and community-driven innovation. Unlike corporate product launches, the event emphasizes participatory workshops, code sprints, and peer-led sessions that shape the platform's roadmap. The 2026 edition continues this tradition, offering a space where technical rigor meets a collegial, mission-oriented ethos. Attendees range from core contributors to enterprise adopters, all united by a belief in decentralized, privacy-respecting software. The conference is not a typical trade show; it is a working meeting where the community's collective expertise directly influences the future of the platform.

Application guidance
Prospective speakers and workshop leaders should propose sessions that are hands-on, technically grounded, and aligned with Nextcloud's core principles: privacy, decentralization, and community governance. Avoid marketing pitches; the program committee favors talks that share real-world implementations, code, or governance models. Include a clear outline of what attendees will learn or build. For hackathon or sprint proposals, specify required skill levels and expected outcomes. Deadlines are typically announced on the conference website and community forums—monitor these channels and engage with the community on GitHub or the Nextcloud forum before submitting to ensure your proposal resonates with current priorities.
