Call4Workshops 2025

Are you ready to dive deeper and get hands-on at SFSCON 2025? The Call4Workshops is officially open until June 30th, 2025!

Workshops at SFSCON are all about active learning. They offer the opportunity to explore Free and Open Source Software in depth, build skills and collaborate with others in an engaging and practical format. Whether you want to teach a tool, share your workflow or build something together, this is your space.

What is a workshop at SFSCON?

Workshops are interactive sessions, generally lasting 35 minutes, where attendees can learn by doing. They are designed for smaller groups and encourage collaboration, experimentation and peer learning. They can be technical, creative or strategic, as long as they involve active participation and are relevant to FOSS.

Workshops can be held in English. All proposal submissions must be in English.

What will we provide?

We’ll provide:

  • A dedicated workshop room at NOI Techpark
  • Basic equipment (projector, whiteboard, Wi-Fi)
  • Support for participant registration
  • Promotion through our official SFSCON channels

You bring:
