Akademy is the community-driven annual event where KDE contributors from all over the world meet under one roof. It’s a free, non-commercial event packed with talks, workshops, training sessions, focused on the technologies and projects that have shaped the KDE ecosystem. 
The 2026 edition is going to be a very special event, as 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of KDE! This is going to be a beautiful opportunity to reflect on three decades of community, collaboration, and innovation that have shaped the open source landscape we all love today.
Whether you are a Kubuntu user, a desktop enthusiast, or an upcoming open source contributor, KDE Akademy 2026 is going to be an unforgettable FOSS experience. Head over to the registration page today.
