GeeCON is a wonderful community-oriented conference, and GeeCON 2026 was no exception. The organizers, speakers, and attendees are such a friendly crowd. The size of the conference is fairly constant, maybe a little smaller than last year, but it is hard to gauge since the venue is so right-sized. It is hosted in a cinema complex, so the screens are big and the seats are comfortable. There are three parallel tracks, which means that the talks are pretty well attended. I would estimate that there were between 80 and 100 people attending my talk.

The speaker’s dinner on the first night was excellent! We had a three-course meal at a restaurant in downtown Krakow. The quality of the food was just amazing. Maybe only outdone by the company. It is always nice to be able to share a meal with fellow speakers. At GeeCON, you get to do that every night.

If you haven’t spoken at or attended GeeCON yet, I highly recommend adding it to your list of to-dos for next year.
