What we're looking for

Great sessions, from inside and outside the Joomla community.

Our audience builds the web — developers, designers, integrators, content creators, agency owners. If you have expertise that helps them do their work better, we want to hear from you, whether or not you've ever used Joomla.

Topics we love: Web development (PHP, JavaScript,..), online marketing, webdesign, AI in web work, accessibility, security, performance, UX, open source, running a web business, and of course Joomla itself — extensions, case studies, migrations, integrations.

Format: 45 minutes, English or German, in person in Potsdam (preferred) or online.

Important: Sessions share knowledge — they're not product pitches. If you'd like a promotional slot, that's part of our sponsorship packages.

Video: We will record all sessions and publish online. If you don't want that, please talk to us. First-time speakers welcome.

Please note the Terms and Conditions.

Testimonials

  • Portrait of Emmanuel Lemor

    Emmanuel Lemor (Joomla Vice President)

    The Joomla World Conference is an event which for me stands alone where ideas, people, and passion meet a special kind of magic when our global community gathers in person. It's a combination of so many things: the ad-hoc encounters after walking out of a session, the smiles in the hallway as you find yourself amazed at the possibilities, putting faces to people whose name or faces you have seen across your computer screen and the sense that you're part of something that is many times larger than your normal activity and... that matters.

    JWC isn’t just about Joomla: it’s about people coming together to imagine what’s next... all together. Whether you are building websites, writing code, creating content, designing, translating, or are simply curious about open source → you belong here.
