Potsdam Congress Hotel

Welcome to the Kongresshotel Potsdam – the perfect setting for our conference

The Kongresshotel Potsdam on Lake Templin is one of Brandenburg’s leading conference venues and offers everything needed for a successful event. Nestled in the peaceful forest and lake landscape of the Pirschheide, yet only minutes from the center of Potsdam, the hotel combines a highly professional conference infrastructure with an environment that encourages focus, creativity and meaningful conversations.

Bright, spacious conference rooms, state‑of‑the‑art technology and an experienced event team ensure that every part of our conference runs smoothly. To make your stay as convenient as possible, we have reserved 100 rooms exclusively for our participants. Booking early gives you the chance to stay directly at the event location — the ideal way to maximize networking opportunities and connect with other attendees throughout the entire conference experience.

When it’s time to unwind, the hotel’s extensive sports and wellness facilities are at your disposal. Enjoy the sauna, fitness area, sports hall or squash court, or take advantage of the hotel’s beautiful lakeside setting. Whether you prefer a morning jog, a relaxing walk or a quiet break in nature, the surroundings offer the perfect balance to an inspiring conference day.

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.
