About this event
Local-First Conf 2026 is a three-day, single-track software conference in Berlin focused on “local-first” software: data ownership, user agency, and empowering end users. The 2026 theme is “user empowerment in an age of fluid software,” reflecting how software creation is changing (including LLM-assisted coding and AI agents) while emphasizing long-term values and humane computing. The event includes two main conference days plus “Day 3: Lab Day,” hosted by Ink & Switch, featuring inspiring talks, live demos, creative experiments, and community projects in a format described as part unconference and part showcase. The site lists ticket tiers (Early Bird, Normal Bird, Late Bird) and a call for papers expanding beyond CRDTs to broader topics related to user empowerment and data ownership.
