What Is the Role of the Program Committee
The Program Committee actively seeks out compelling topics and speakers from both the local and international tech community. This year, we have decided to go even further in supporting our vibrant community of technology enthusiasts. We would like to express our sincere gratitude for every nomination, each of which helps us create an even richer program for CODECON #Bratislava 2026.
The call for speaker submissions will remain open until the end of February, after which the Program Committee will begin selecting the most outstanding talks for CODECON #Bratislava 2026 throughout March. Additional details will be announced gradually in March and April, so be sure to follow our website and social media channels.
Reserve Your Spot Early
There is no need to wait and risk missing this unique opportunity. Last year, registration had to be closed two weeks before the event, and we expect even greater interest this year. Registration opens soon, and tickets are free of charge. Join us and get inspired by the latest trends and insights from the world of technology.
As the event capacity is limited, registration is binding. Please register only if you genuinely plan to attend. If your plans change, let us know so we can offer your spot to another member of the community.
