A two-day Hamburg IT conference and barcamp in its 9th edition, organised by and for the local tech community, with 50 talks and workshops across 5 themed stages covering software development, IT security, generative AI, cloud infrastructure, and digital ethics.
techcamp is an annual two-day technology conference in Hamburg that blends a curated conference format with an open barcamp track. Now in its 9th edition, it is organised by Silpion IT-Solutions and draws participants primarily from the Hamburg and northern German IT community. The programme covers 50 sessions distributed across 5 themed stages, addressing software development, IT security, generative AI, accessibility, mental health in the tech workplace, and regulatory developments.
techcamp describes itself as a community-driven event: proposals come from practitioners rather than primarily from sponsors, and the barcamp component allows topics to emerge organically on the day. This format distinguishes it from vendor-heavy trade conferences. The venue, Klubhaus St. Pauli, is deliberately chosen for its informal atmosphere on Hamburg's Reeperbahn area.
A barcamp is an open, participant-driven conference format where the agenda is not fully fixed in advance. Attendees propose sessions on the first morning, which are then scheduled into available slots. At techcamp, this runs alongside the fixed conference programme, giving participants both structure and flexibility.
The primary language is German. Some sessions may be delivered in English depending on speakers, but attendees should expect a predominantly German-language environment.
The CFP deadline was 8 May 2026. Submissions are closed for the 2026 edition.
Klubhaus St. Pauli is located on Spielbudenplatz in Hamburg's St. Pauli district, steps from the Reeperbahn. It is a versatile event space with multiple rooms suited to a multi-stage conference format. The informal character of the building fits the community-driven tone of techcamp.
Silpion IT-Solutions is a Hamburg-based IT consulting and software development company. It has organised techcamp since the event's founding and maintains it as a community contribution rather than a commercial product. Tickets are available at techcamp.hamburg/tickets/.
The barcamp format is the differentiator here: 9 editions in, techcamp remains more community-shaped than most German developer events of comparable size.
