Hello world; hello techies,
In 2026, it’s time once again to talk about tech. We’re thrilled to welcome you to the 9th techcamp this year. Mark your calender and save a spot for 25th & 26th August. At tech talks & tonic, we’ll dive into tech topics once again in the unique atmosphere of the Klubhaus St. Pauli on Spielbudenplatz in Hamburg.
With 50 talks and workshops, we’re inviting you once again to exchange ideas and broaden both your own horizons and those of the community. More crucial… you’re an official part of it. It’s your time to shine. Come on stage and actively help shape the program.
You’ve learned something along your own techie journey and want to help other techies avoid the bruises and stitches.
Or maybe you’ve already had a few eureka moments and come up with the ultimate master plan for techie world domination (harr harr harr) … you’re invited to share it.
Submit your talk at techcamp.hamburg --- May 8 is the deadline.
These are our topics* :
- LEGACY & INNOVATION – Revolutionizing legacy code – from monoliths and the “big ball of mud” to clean, modern code
- GENAI IN ENGINEERING - IT'S A VIBE – Smart IT architectures, modern frameworks, and agile methodologies with GenAI as a co-engineer - #vibecoding #agentcoding
- Subtopic: Gen AI: Friend or Foe – When Threat and Opportunity Blur: Security, Regulation, and Responsibility in the Age of GenAI.
- MENTAL HEALTH IN IT – Resilience in Uncertain Times – Between Focus Boost and Overload: Neurodiversity, Resilience, and Mental Balance in Everyday Tech Life
- ETHICAL HACKING & ACCESSIBILITY – Hacking for good. Ethical hacking, accessibility (Bfsg), and security for better digital products.
- NERD'S FINEST BOX OF CHOCOLATES – Our evergreen – You never know what you’re gonna get… Retro computing, nerd quiz, and more.
- DIGITAL SOVEREIGNTY & RESILIENCE – Own your stack – Shaping technology with self-determination: Between cloud strategy, open source, regulation, and resilient infrastructure
- BUILDING TRUST IN THE DIGITAL WORLD – Security, Identity, Networks, and resilient platforms for a secure digital future.
*Additional topics may be added.
We look forward to your submissions. To answer a question before it’s asked… we are a small conference and unfortunatley we don't cover the travel and accomodation costs. :(.
Please be patient while the Call for Papers is open. As soon as it closes, we’ll take some time in May to review the submissions and then get back to you. Fingers crossed—maybe you’ll be back on our stage soon.
