Take the Stage for Bold Ideas—Help Shape #SCCON26

Behind every successful digital transformation project are the people who made it happen. Are you one of them? Then you belong on our stage.

Our Call for Speakers gives practitioners from the public sector a voice—presenting to a high-level audience from government, the digital industry, and academia.

Apply now and present your project at the ninth edition of the Smart Country Convention, taking place October 13–15, 2026, at the Berlin Exhibition Grounds.

How Can I Apply?

Our Call for Speakers is aimed exclusively at experts from the public sector. You don’t need to be a seasoned speaker—what matters is your project and what others can learn from it.

What Should I Bring?

A concrete project related to the topics of the Smart Country Convention, the willingness to share openly—including challenges and learnings—and results that can be presented in a talk of up to 15 minutes.
