CFCamp is back from our somewhat-forced-upon-us break for a 2023 edition.

Would you like to meet the German and European CFML web developer communities, listen to expert speakers and find out all about the latest trends around CFML and associated technologies? Then join us at CFCamp 2023, Europe’s largest conference on CFML, Lucee, Adobe ColdFusion and associated technologies.

Our two-day event on June 22-23, 2023 at the Marriot Munich Airport Hotel in Freising aims to bring together 200+ web developers, architects and general technology enthusiasts. The conference attracts attendees who are interested in learning about and discussing the latest developments in the CFML world as well as learning about associated technologies in the fields of web and mobile development.

CFCamp 2023 will provide content for designers, developers, testers, or just about anyone passionate about software and web development. We want to encourage attendees to look beyond their day-to-day platform of choice and keep up to date with more general trends in web and mobile tech.

At this stage, we’re looking for interested individuals who are keen on presenting at CFCamp 2023. Talks will be selected by the Programme Committee on the basis of making the conference a varied, diverse and valuable event. Submission is open to anyone and we encourage first-time speakers to submit a proposal. Members of the Programme Committee are happy to offer coaching and assistance on talk proposals. We aim to create a conference that has a set of great, engaging and interesting talks from a diverse and varied range of speakers and technology experts.
