Starting from 29th of May up to 1st of June, Karlsruhe became the welcoming city for all the enthusiasts of the digital world. Developers, designers, editors and many more from all around the world decided to gather to share knowledge, network and celebrate with the Neos community. By consolidating everything into a single venue, we not only maximized our time together, but it made a real difference, giving us extra opportunities to connect, collaborate, and learn from each other. Take a look at our highlights for this monumental event.
The journey began with a Warm-Up Day, setting the stage for what promised to be an extraordinary conference experience. Attendees gathered, eager to immerse themselves in all things Neos. The atmosphere was buzzing with anticipation as participants mingled, exchanged ideas, and prepared for the enriching days ahead.
It felt like a family reunion, when we kicked off the conference on May 30, with folks from all over gathering in Karlsruhe, ready to dive into all things Neos CMS. From the thought-provoking keynotes to the different talks throughout the day there was something for everyone. We explored and dived into the newest updates of Neos CMS, but more than that, we shared stories, laughed, and forged new connections that would last long after the conference ended.
Neos 9 brings with it a wave of excitement and anticipation, promising groundbreaking features and enhancements that will redefine the Neos experience. From improved performance to streamlined workflows, Neos 9 is poised to empower users like never before. Meanwhile, Neos 8.4 continues the tradition of excellence, delivering stability, reliability, and a host of new features that elevate the platform to new heights. Together, these updates represent the ongoing commitment of the Neos community to pushing boundaries and delivering best-in-class solutions for content management.
The announcement of the Neos 9 update had us all leaning forward in anticipation, eager to hear about the latest advancements. Throughout the day, discussions delved into a diverse array of topics, from AI integration to Neos Themes, case studies, developer experience, software architecture, performance, recent updates and beyond. It was inspiring to witness the depth of knowledge and expertise within our community as we shared insights, celebrated successes, and learned from each other's challenges.

The contribution day after the conference gave many Neos community members a chance to learn more about how to contribute to Neos with their individual set of skills. Various Neos core team members and already experienced contributors helped them to get their first code change or other kind of contribution "ready for review". Even this blog post was written by a first time contributor.
Together, we'll continue to innovate, collaborate, and inspire, shaping the future of content management for years to come.
