Akademy 2026 will be held in Graz, Austria, from Saturday the 19th to Thursday the 24th of September.
Akademy 2026 will be a hybrid event, combining on-site and remote sessions, and will include talks, workshops, Birds of a Feather (BoF) meetups, training and coding sessions. The conference is expected to draw hundreds of attendees from the global KDE community to discuss and plan the community's future and its technologies. Many participants from the broad free and open source software community, as well as local organizations and software companies, will also attend. The call for papers will open soon, and the registrations shortly after. We will soon update Akademy's website; in the meantime, follow us on Mastodon, Lemmy and Twitter to keep up to date with Akademy’s news.
About Akademy
For most of the year, KDE, one of the largest free and open software communities in the world, works online communicating over email, instant messaging, video-conferencing, forums and mailing lists. Akademy provides all KDE contributors with the opportunity to meet in person to foster social bonds, work on concrete technology issues, discuss new ideas, and reinforce the innovative, dynamic culture of KDE. Akademy brings together artists, designers, developers, translators, users, writers, sponsors and many other types of KDE contributors to celebrate the achievements of the past year and help determine the direction for the next year. Hands-on sessions offer the opportunity for intense work, bringing those plans to reality. The KDE community also welcomes companies building on KDE technology to Akademy, as well as those who are looking for opportunities.
