Announcing Our Conference Schedule¶
Write the Docs Berlin is coming up on Sep 6-8, 2026, and today we’re publishing the full conference schedule.
You’ve already seen our list of awesome speakers; now you can see when they will be presenting, and start planning your time across Writing Day, the main talks, Unconference, and Lightning Talks.
Conference Schedule¶
The website is updated with the schedule for the full conference, including main stage speaker talks, so you can start planning your time (and getting excited!) for the conference.
We’ll continue to have a moderated Q&A session after each speaker. You’ll have a chance to ask our speakers questions after the talk via our wonderful set of moderators. Virtual attendees can ask questions using the same QR code as folks attending locally.
Virtual Conference Tickets¶
Interested in listening to the Speaker Talks in real time but unable to attend in person? We are excited to have a Virtual Ticket option. All in-person tickets also receive access to watch virtually as well.
Start Preparing For Writing Day¶
We’re bringing writing day back to Berlin!
Writing Day happens on Sunday, the opening day of the conference. It’s a valuable opportunity to bring interested individuals into the same room, sharing their passions and aspirations while collaborating to develop creative solutions to solve a problem or issue.
Writing Day project (half-day or full-day): attendees can lead a project or join and contribute to a project.
Are you interested in leading a Writing Day project? We highly encourage you to submit your project here. As always, you are welcome to show up on Sunday and introduce your project then!
In the afternoon, we’re also hosting Roundtable Discussions: pre-scheduled, facilitated conversations on focused topics like AI in documentation and API docs.
Events and Activities¶
Write the Docs is more than a conference. In addition to Speaker Talks, Writing Day, Unconference, and Lightning Talks, we offer additional activities for our attendees to enjoy, connect, engage in discussions, and meet new people.
Sunday Welcome Reception: New this year, we are hosting a Welcome Reception at bUm Berlin from 17:00-19:00 CEST. Come pick up your badge, meet other attendees, and get familiar with the venue.
Monday Night Social: On Monday evening we’re hosting an off-site social event from 19:00-21:00 CEST. This is a great chance to get to know more folks in the community and have a drink or two on us.
Drinks and snacks are provided at both events, with non-alcoholic options available.
T-shirts Are Available¶
The Write the Docs Berlin 2026 T-shirt Shop is open! We have loose and fitted options from different fabrics, and you can choose exactly the size and cut you want. As in previous years, we’re doing a mail order shop so people can order the exact shirt they want, if they want one.
The campaign will run in batches until TBD. Shipping is available from the USA or Europe. We recommend you order your shirt at least 2-3 weeks in advance if you want to sport your fancy new garb during the conference.
