Read MoreFollowing the overwhelming success of last year’s Nextcloud Summit, Nextcloud is proud to launch its second edition of the Nextcloud Summit, taking place on 9 June in Munich, Germany.
During this unique event, we want to address the wider market around digitally sovereign collaboration technology, providing a space for organizations, governments, and experts to connect, exchange ideas, and find practical solutions.
With keynotes, discussion panels, and fireside chats, this exclusive one-day event bridges the gap between tech experts and business leaders. By doing so, we can connect innovators from around the world.

Nextcloud Summit 2026 is centered around a clear vision: making sure attendees can take back control over their data. You can expect:
If you are responsible for IT strategy, digital policy, infrastructure, or innovation in your organization, this Summit is designed to give you clarity, direction, and actionable next steps.
As we know, we are facing growing concerns over data control, regulatory pressure, and dependency on Big Tech. That’s why deploying sustainable, secure solutions is more urgent than ever.
The Nextcloud Summit is a space for those who want to be part of the solution, be it in the public sector, private sector, or independent tech experts.
What’s more, you will be able to meet like-minded professionals during dedicated networking sessions and a post-event rooftop gathering.
New speakers and agenda topics are announced every week!
With a focus on digital sovereignty, the Nextcloud Summit 2026 tackles one of today’s biggest challenges: empowering people and businesses to take charge of their own data.
Together, we will explore questions such as:
This is your opportunity to discover the latest cloud collaboration solutions that ensure privacy, compliance, and security at all times.
With growing concerns about the resilience of centralized IT infrastructure and data privacy, it’s time to recognize those who make a real difference in pushing forward digital sovereignty.
That’s why we have set up the Nextcloud Awards, ensuring recognition for people, organizations, and projects that are actively working towards a future where users — not corporations — control their data.
The Nextcloud Awards winners will be presented live at the Nextcloud Summit 2026.

We want to maximize the chance to network, innovate, and collaborate. That’s why the Nextcloud Summit 2026 will take place at the Munich Marriott Hotel City West.
This luxurious venue offers state-of-the-art facilities in the heart of the city. That way, we ensure customers, partners, and Nextcloud experts can start their digital revolution at a vibrant location.
Join us for our biggest event up until now, and access a full day of learning, sharing, and collaborating on regaining freedom over your data, ensuring data remains in the hands of those who create it.
