More than just a conference
A Contao Conference thrives not only on talks and slides, but also on open discussion, meaningful conversations and fresh inspiration for your own projects. The Contao Conference 2025 in Düsseldorf recently demonstrated this once again in impressive way.
You can find a review of the event at contao.org, photos on the Formate page, and the presentations in the YouTube playlist.
Fancy it? Then let’s head to Leipzig
Leipzig and the Contao community are a perfect match. The Contao Camp in Leipzig was held here back in 2018 and remains a fond memory for many to this day. It’s all the better to be returning in 2026, this time on a larger scale and with a new format.
The shift from Conference to Summit isn’t a break, but a fresh start. With this adapted format, the organisers aim to address the various target groups and their challenges in a more focused way. That’s why there will be different tracks in 2026. On Thursday, 15 October 2026, the familiar session format will remain in place. This will focus on the latest Contao knowledge and topics relating to web development.
On Friday, 16 October 2026, there will be three parallel tracks, allowing you to tailor your summit day to suit you:
- Agency Track: for agency owners, project managers and decision-makers. Focus: processes, collaboration, client communication. Led by: Oliver Reiff, long-standing organiser of the Contao Agency Day.
- Open Space Track: bring your own topics, suggest sessions, discuss freely. Facilitated by: Marcus Lelle from the Contao team.
- Session Track: traditional knowledge-sharing for anyone wishing to delve deeper into Contao.
The event will take place at INNSiDE by Meliá Leipzig, right in the city centre, with modern facilities and everything within easy reach. You can find all further information about the venue on the Summit page. The full programme is still in the planning phase and will be published in June 2026; the call for talks is open until 31 May 2026. In terms of content, you can expect topics for beginners and advanced users from the Contao world, as well as general topics from web development, web design and the agency world.
Never been to a Contao Conference or Contao Summit before? No problem. The organising team will assign you a Conference Buddy on request or introduce you to specific members of the community. And of course, you can always approach us at trakked, whether you have a specific question or just want to have a chat. Don’t worry: the atmosphere on the day is very relaxed.
trakked as a Gold Sponsor
We are supporting the Contao Summit 2026 as a Gold Sponsor. For us, actively helping to fund the Summit – which brings the Contao community together every year – is simply part of what we do.
Why it’s worth attending
The Summit is aimed at anyone who works with Contao or is interested in Contao:
- Contao agencies
- Freelancers and developers
- Contao beginners
- Simply anyone who is passionate about open-source solutions and the web
We know from experience that everyone has their own reasons for attending. For some, new talks, roadmap insights and technical deep dives are key; for others, networking, seeing familiar faces and having face-to-face conversations are more important.
The direct link to the Contao developers is particularly valuable. You get first-hand answers, get to know the people behind the CMS and quickly realise why a Contao event feels a bit like a family reunion. People know each other, help each other and are happy to see one another.

Tip: Book your hotel and travel together
Rooms at INNSiDE by Meliá are available via the usual hotel booking platforms, usually subject to a prepayment and non-refundable. The Summit has a block of rooms available through the hotel itself with more flexible terms; you can find details on the Summit location page. It’s also worth booking your travel early: saver fares for train tickets are significantly cheaper than flex fares on the day of travel.
