Join us in Pordenone, Italy, to share what you are doing for and with LibreOffice, how you are integrating LibreOffice in your infrastructure, how you are using LibreOffice to achieve Digital Sovereignty, and how LibreOffice can be used in Education.
The Document Foundation invites TDF Members, contributors and the wider FOSS community to submit talks, lectures and workshops for this year’s LibreOffice Conference that will be held in Pordenone, Italy.
The event will take place from the 10th to the 12th of September, with an informal community meeting on September 9, and collateral events (in Italian) targeted to Italian enterprises and public administrations on September 9 and September 11.
Proposals should be filed by June 15, 2026 in order to guarantee that they will be considered for inclusion in the conference program. Please provide an abstract of your talk, and a short bio of yourself. These will help organizers in selecting the talks, and putting together the conference schedule.
The conference program will be based on the following tracks:
a) Development (APIs, Extensions, Current and New Features)
b) Quality Assurance and Software Security
c) Localization, Documentation and Native Language Projects
d) Appealing LibreOffice: Ease of Use, Design and Accessibility
e) Open Document Format, Digital Sovereignty and Interoperability
f) Advocating, Promoting, Marketing LibreOffice
g) Enterprise Deployments, Migrations to LibreOffice, integration
h) LibreOffice in education, and Open Education Resources
i) LibreOffice for government organizations, central and local
Presentations, case studies, and technical talks will discuss a subject in depth, and will last 30 minutes (including Q&A). Lightning talks will cover a specific topic and will last 5 minutes (including Q&A). Workshops will focus on topics which need an open discussion between participants, and will last 60 or 90 minutes.
It is very important to provide an abstract which summarizes your talk, and a short bio of yourself. These will help organizers in selecting the talks, and putting together a meaningful conference schedule which makes sense for the audience.
Sessions will be streamed live and recorded for download.
If you need a VISA, please get in touch with the organization team by sending an email at conference@libreoffice.org as soon as possible, to get an invitation letter.
If you cannot travel to Pordenone and prefer to present remotely, please add a note to your talk proposal, in order to allow organizers to schedule your talk (and organize a test session in advance).
If you do not agree to provide the data for the talk under the “Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 License”, please explicitly state your terms. In order to make your presentation available on TDF’s YouTube channel, please do not submit talks containing copyrighted material (music or pictures, etc.).
If you want to give multiple talks, please send a separate proposal for each one. Please do mind that you will receive a separate email for each one.
Of course, this is just the LibreOffice Conference Call for Papers, but all community members, FOSS advocates or people just curious about technology are welcome to come along and attend the talks and events!
If you need an accommodation in Pordenone, please get in touch with the organizers in due time by email: conference@libreoffice.org. The local tourism organization will handle requests based on your needs, providing an accommodation with an agreed discounted rate.
We’ll post again soon, when registration is open…
