We are excited to announce that The Matrix Conference 2026 will be held in Malmö, Sweden from 20th to 22nd October, 2026, and a Post-Conf Hackathon on 23rd October. Save the date!

🔗What to expect

After successful editions in Berlin and Strasbourg, we are bringing The Matrix Conference back with the same spirit: over 300 private enthusiasts, hackers, community admins, public and private sector professionals, vendors, integrators, and political representatives gathering to exchange knowledge, share developments, and shape the future of Matrix together.

The programme spans four days:

  • October 20 (afternoon): A networking event to get everyone together before the main programme kicks off, with thematic tables and facilitators to get the conversation started
  • October 21 and 22: Two full days of talks, workshops, demos, and discussions
  • October 23: A hackathon for those who want to keep building together after the conference

As always, the talks will be streamed live and recordings will be available after the event, so you can follow along even if you cannot make it to Malmö in person.

🔗Submit a talk: the CfP is open

The Call for Proposals is open and we would love to hear from you! We welcome proposals from:

  • Individuals innovating around Matrix
  • Organisations working with Matrix in any context
  • Authors of toy projects, hacks, and experiments worth sharing
  • Anyone contributing to digital sovereignty

If you have something to share with the Matrix community, now is the time to put together a proposal! The Call for Proposals ends on 14th June at midnight.

🔗Tickets and volunteering

Ticket sales and the call for volunteers are opening soon. Watch this space for updates, and get in touch if you want to help make the conference happen.

We still have a few sponsorship packages available. Sponsoring The Matrix Conference is a great way to support the open, decentralised web and connect with a highly engaged audience of builders, decision-makers, and digital sovereignty advocates.
