The heart of the Robot Framework community comes together once a year. This is that moment — where practitioners share real work, conversations go deeper than any online forum, and you leave with new learning, real connections, and tools to enrich your work.
Five days where the Robot Framework community actually shows up in the same room. The talks are given by practitioners sharing real work and the long breaks mean you have time to find the speaker, continue the conversation, and meet the people solving the same problems you are.
This year for the first time we're running a dedicated Core Day — a full day focused entirely on Robot Framework itself for advanced users who want to go deep without compromise. Workshops offer a full day of hands-on training to pick up a concrete skill you can apply immediately when you get back.
The week ends with the Community Day — an open unconference where there is no pre-set agenda. Attendees show up and build the day together: topics, discussions, sessions — all decided on the spot. It sounds chaotic but it's consistently one of the most valuable days of the week. Your best chance to get direct time with core contributors, maintainers, and fellow practitioners in a relaxed setting.
Lastly, with the 10th anniversary, the legendary VALA after party and other celebrations are bound to happen. Details TBA. 🎉
If Helsinki isn't an option, the online conference is a real alternative — not a consolation prize.
It opens with a full day of live-streamed talks and Q&A hosted by Joe Colantonio, with genuine ways to interact with speakers and peers rather than just watching a stream alone.
New this year: Community Tracks. Rather than sampling a bit of everything, you pick a track and go deep on a topic that matters to you — think Robot Framework and AI, or other focus areas TBA. Each track runs across multiple days with tutorials, panel discussions, ask-me-anything sessions, and a half-day workshop for hands-on practice. A focused, structured way to come away with something concrete.
And it's not all structured sessions. Between talks you can wander a virtual space, bump into people, have unplanned conversations, and find out where the virtual bar ends up.
The conference wraps up on the afternoon of April 9th with the Community Day — same open unconference spirit as Helsinki, same energy of figuring things out together.
Tickets and the full program will be published here as they're confirmed. Follow the Robot Framework Foundation on LinkedIn or join #robocon on Slack for announcements.
