In the meantime, Pelle and Stefan have announced the topics and speakers. They have once again outdone themselves and we can look forward to two incredibly exciting days, rounded off by colleges on Saturday. We are already looking forward to seeing you all again.
The largest and most important Contao event will take place this year from 25 to 27 September 2025 at the Meliá Hotel in Düsseldorf. Our team will also actively participate in this event. I will be there early in the morning to clear your heads for the presentations. Yanick, Andy and Christian will share their knowledge with you.
Yanick takes you on a journey into the world of Loupe. This is a search engine that works exclusively with SQLite and PHP and has been powering Contao's back end search since Contao 5.5.
Andy talks about the Contao Manager - more specifically about the different points of contact and options for extension developers. He explains how you can make the most of Packagist, metadata, the provision and installation of private packages and options for themes.
Christian's presentation is about the power of the console. Although the Contao Manager is very practical, many tasks can be done faster and more efficiently via the console.
You can find the varied programme on the conference website. In addition to the presentations, we are particularly looking forward to exchanging ideas with you. Just talk to us - you will recognise us by our ‘fashionable’ black trakked shirts.
Once again this year, we are supporting the Contao Conference as sponsors and thus making a small contribution to the success of this unforgettable event.
If you want to reminisce or are not sure what to expect at a Contao conference, we have put together a list of past events in the pre-announcement.
We hope to see you all there!
