Coding.Waterkant Opening 2026 x Coding.Waterkant MeetUp

Join us for the Opening of Coding.Waterkant 2026 on Monday, July 6th!
We’ll kick things off with cold drinks from 5:30 PM, followed by a welcome from Dirk Schrödter at 6 PM, who will officially open Coding.Waterkant followed by two inspiring keynotes: Anita Schüttler (Federal Association Green Software) on AI’s hidden environmental impact and a more sustainable way forward, and Sven Großmann (Grafana Labs) on the new realities of AI security and observability.

Sign up if you’d like to join the Opening!

After the talks, join us for food, drinks, and conversations with participants, speakers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and technology enthusiasts before four inspiring days of Coding.Waterkant begin.

The Opening is also a great opportunity for everyone who can’t attend the full Coding.Waterkant Camp from July 6–10, as well as for those curious to experience the spirit of Coding.Waterkant and explore whether they’d like to join in the future.

More information: www.coding.waterkant.sh. A few tickets for the full camp are still available, and a waiting list will be offered once capacity is reached.
