Nextcloud Community Conference 2024 Building a safer digital world

At Nextcloud Community Conference, our community comes together to do more than networking, coding, and sharing the latest Nextcloud updates. We are united by one purpose, and that is to make this world a safer, more open and more inclusive space — on a digital level.

This year, Nextcloud Community Conference runs under the motto “Building a safer digital world”. For that’s what we do as Nextclouders!

Building a safer digital world 🌍

Imagine a world where big tech doesn’t track everything you do to sell you products you don’t need. Where surveillance is not a scary word and is actually there to protect you. Where citizens’ data stays at home, handled with transparency and by software they choose to trust.

Changing this reality must sound nearly impossible. But we believe that many drops make a bucket! Since day one, we stick to our core values and build accessible, decentralized, open-source products that put people back in control. Nextcloud’s mission has been an ongoing success thanks to our amazing diverse community.

At the Nextcloud Community Conference, we are going to celebrate our achievements and set new milestones to keep building a safer digital world together — by sharing ideas, telling stories, and mastering the craft of software that gives people their privacy back.

We are preparing an agenda full of inspiring topics and community activities. That includes keynotes by renowned privacy advocates, researchers, and writers, dynamic panel sessions, lightning talks by members of the Nextcloud community, and hands-on workshops led by our team and contributors.

Two keynotes already scheduled:

Nextcloud Community Conference 2024 speaker Constanze Kurz promo

Keynote by Dr. Constanze Kurz: Mass surveillance: The haystack has only grown bigger

Nextcloud Community Conference 2024 speaker Björn Lundell promo

Keynote by Professor Björn Lundell: Recipes for getting stuck in proprietary clouds: How public sector organisations discriminate against OSS solutions

Proposals FAQ 🗒

Do I need to submit a final title and description now?

With your proposal, you need to submit a final title and speaker information. The description can just include the outline of your idea that will help us understand your topic well. You will have time to finalize your talk or workshop details prior to the event.

I submitted my proposal. When will I hear back?

We will get back to you as soon as possible. If your proposal is accepted, you’ll receive an email from us! Note that sometimes we receive a lot of talk proposals, so then we have to select them based on the first come, first serve model. Nevertheless, we accept most proposals that are sent in so your chances are high.

Do I have to prepare any materials?

Yes! For both lightning talks and workshops, you will have to submit a draft of your slides for us to approve. The deadline for slide submission is August 23rd.

What if I am not a good public speaker?

Bear in mind that the talks are meant to be low-key and low-stress. We want to provide you with a fit platform to share what you love, so we encourage and welcome anyone to present! The conference team is happy to help you prep and practice if you’re worried about anything.

Do I need to memorize my speech?

Nope! Prepare your talk how you see fit! If you prefer to memorize it, create note cards, or have a word-for-word copy to read from, all options are acceptable.

We want to support participants from underrepresented groups in Open Source to join Nextcloud Community Conference by sponsoring part or the whole of their transportation and accommodation costs.
