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. ## How techcamp positions itself 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.

The venue, Klubhaus St. Pauli, is deliberately chosen for its informal atmosphere on Hamburg's Reeperbahn area. ## Who attends techcamp 2026 - Software developers and engineers based in Hamburg and northern Germany - IT security professionals and infrastructure engineers - DevOps practitioners and platform engineers - Tech leads and engineering managers from German mid-market companies - Students from Hamburg-area technical universities attending their first professional conference ## What the techcamp format includes - 50 talks and workshops across 5 themed stages (according to the organiser) - Barcamp sessions where topics are proposed and voted on by attendees on the day - Structured conference tracks with pre-selected speakers - Evening networking at the Klubhaus St. Pauli ## What the techcamp programme covers - Generative AI: applications, risks, and implementation patterns - IT security and vulnerability management - Web technologies and modern frontend architecture - Regulatory context: NIS2, AI Act, and compliance for German IT teams - Accessibility and inclusive design in software - Mental health and sustainable working practices in IT ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is a barcamp, and how does it work at techcamp? 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. ### In which language are the sessions? The primary language is German. Some sessions may be delivered in English depending on speakers, but attendees should expect a predominantly German-language environment. ### Is CFP still open? The CFP deadline was 8 May 2026. Submissions are closed for the 2026 edition. ### Who is techcamp NOT designed for? - Professionals seeking a formal academic or peer-reviewed conference format - Attendees primarily interested in large-scale keynote presentations from global tech executives - Those requiring sessions exclusively in English - Vendor teams looking for a structured exhibition or lead generation floor ## The venue: Klubhaus St. Pauli 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. ## The organiser: Silpion IT-Solutions 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.
