Nextcloud is honored to have the following keynote speakers at our Conference.

On both Saturday and Sunday of our Nextcloud Conference weekend, we will host our famous Lightning Talks!
Lightning Talks are ~5 minute talks covering a wide range of topics from how to build an app to topics on data privacy.
After the Lightning Talks on both days, we host 2 hour long workshops so you can learn a new skill or get motivated! From what it takes to actually build an app or contribute to Nextcloud Office and Collabora Online, you will get to participate at the conference in a more hands on way.
