We’ll let you in on a secret: you don’t need to run Nextcloud to enjoy the Nextcloud Community Conference 2026 and take a great deal of value home with you. We are here to explain why.

Who is the Nextcloud Community Conference for?

For starters, let’s answer the question: who is the Nextcloud Community Conference for?

Nextcloud contributors and app developers

For the 10th year, the Nextcloud Community Conference and Contributor Week is a place of gathering for people at the heart of the Nextcloud community. It’s the contributors who help us create new features, fix bugs and polish Nextcloud, and also the app developers who expand Nextcloud’s growing ecosystem.

And while a lot of people are directly involved in coding, let’s not forget about those who translate the UI, write the documentation, create content, and test Nextcloud apps.

Nextcloud Community Conference’s program is just as diverse. We don’t only discuss hacking and app building. We also get into design and docs, and even open source marketing and practical implementation of Nextcloud in the real world, and many more topics beyond that.

Together, we build a solid trajectory for Nextcloud and the community for years to come. If you are a contributor or an app developer, the Nextcloud Community Conference is definitely for you.

People who use and manage Nextcloud

The Nextcloud Community Conference is, of course, very relevant to everyone who is using and running Nextcloud at home or at work. It’s a great place to learn about using and managing your Nextcloud, meet and talk to our engineers and team, pitch ideas, and even showcase your projects on stage. 

Look at it like the Nextcloud community forum, but live, with in-person discussions, networking, and lots of fun! So if you use Nextcloud, you belong at the Nextcloud Community Conference too.

People who wish to learn about privacy and open source

So is it just for the Nextcloud crowd, contributors, and admins? Not at all. Our community is very dynamic, and as Nextcloud has a prominent role in the open source universe, the Nextcloud Community Conference is relevant to everyone who creates and uses FOSS, or is interested in topics like privacy and freedom. It’s a great place to meet and to learn new things.

We invite speakers with big names in the open source sphere, representatives of human rights movements, important privacy advocates. We raise questions that don’t have easy answers. And we like hearing everyone’s opinions about them.

So if you are interested in making the world a better place, protect privacy and digital freedom, and do so through open and fair tech, you are welcome to be part of the Nextcloud Community Conference.

Open source enthusiasts and media

The Nextcloud community is one of the biggest and most dynamic open source communities in our field. This year marks a big milestone: 10 years of the Nextcloud ecosystem and community.

That makes the Nextcloud Community Conference 2026 a once-in-a-lifetime event. If you love open source, and Nextcloud in particular, it’s a must-attend.

Even more so if you work in media or are a blogger and want to celebrate this moment with us and share it with your platform. Want to make it official? Get in touch with our press team.

At our table, everyone is welcome

Diversity strengthens our community. At the Nextcloud Community Conference, we promise to do our best so everyone feels safe, confident and appreciated.

Additionally, our Nextcloud Include initiative is aimed at helping underrepresented groups in tech join our events and offers sponsorship for travel and accommodation. You can apply for travel support via the Travel Support Form.

Before joining, we recommend everyone to carefully read and consider our code of conduct.

What can you do at the Nextcloud Community Conference?

There’s something for everyone at the Nextcloud Community Conference. Do you want to meet new people, build friendships, and start new collaborations in open source? Maybe find a company to get into a rabbit hole of hacking, online privacy, or community building? Show people an app you’ve been working on, and even make a stage moment out of that? You are in the right place.
