The CityLAB Sommerkonferenz is the meeting point for everyone interested in digitalization and modern administration, looking to exchange ideas and actively contribute. New this year: in addition to the administration, we are explicitly inviting contributions from the academic community!
Do you work in administration or academia and want to share your ideas, projects, or research findings? Then become part of the program for our next Sommerkonferenz and submit your proposals through our Open Call by 27 February 2026.
We look forward to your ideas and submissions!

Who should register?
During the Open Call phase, only the person submitting the session and taking primary responsibility for it should create a profile. If a session has multiple contributors, the submitting person provides the names and additional information for all participants. Other contributors do not need to register at this stage – their profiles will be required only after acceptance.
