NixCon 2025: Coming soon!

NixCon is just over a month away, and we hope you are as excited as we are! This message serves as a reminder and contains some practical info, so please read all the way through.

  • If you haven’t gotten your ticket yet, now’s the time!
  • If you have a ticket but do not plan to attend, please cancel it.

    This helps us know how many people are attending, which we need to plan ahead for things like food and merch.

    Note: If you have a voucher that you do not plan to redeem, there is no need to do anything. You can of course send it to a friend. :slightly_smiling_face:

  • The CfP closes in just 3 days. If you would like to contribute a talk, now’s the time to register it!

The organisers and sponsors are meeting at the venue on Thursday, 2025-09-04 at 15:00 to set things up.

Other useful information:

  • There will be free food:sparkles: on all three days! You don’t need to make lunch or dinner plans elsewhere.
  • On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the doors are open from 9:00 to 21:00.
  • There is a lake. Bring your swimwear! :man_swimming:
  • Don’t forget to bring a power adapter for Swiss electrical sockets. Most European plugs will not fit: Power plug & outlet Type J
  • Thanks to our generous sponsors, we have some budget to offer travel stipends to contributors that need help getting to NixCon. If you need help, do not hesitate to reach out to us and we’ll decide on a case-by-case basis.

We’re looking forward to seeing everybody mingle in Switzerland! :fondue:

I’m pretty excited to go. This will be my first time in Europe and to NixCon outside of the US. I hope to meet a lot of people while attending.

What’s the expected turnaround time for speaker notifications? Less than a month to put a talk together is pretty short notice.

@zmitchell Thanks for the feedback, too late to change this now, but we’ll try to get talks decided a week after the CfP deadline, so ~4 weeks in advance of the conference.
