Unconference - Part 1
Thursday April 16, 2026 13:30 - 15:30 CEST
It’s safe to say Unconference is now an OpenSearchCon tradition. Each time the community gets together for this event, we learn from one another in an engaging environment with interesting talks and open discussions.

Make plans to join us again and come ready to pitch your favorite speaking topic! This is an opportunity for the community to come together and kick off OpenSearchCon Europe with an action-packed morning of sharing and discovery. With no pre-planned talks, what you want to hear about will be determined by you and your fellow conference-goers.

Attendees/Speakers
This is a first-come, first-served event; the room holds up to 75 individuals and anyone registered for OpenSearchCon is welcome to attend until the room is full. We advise you to show up a little early to make sure you get your spot.

Each speaker has 15 minutes to do with as they see fit! Want to talk for 10 minutes and have 5 minutes of questions? Great! Have a lot to say and want to talk for the whole 15? That works too! Are you a maintainer and want to hold a lightning round of questions with the audience? Fantastic! You get the picture. Just be mindful of your 15 minutes!

Voting
- At 13:30, each attendee will receive a card and three gold-star stickers. Those who would like to give a talk will write their title and brief description on the card, put their name on the back, and post them to the board for voting.
- At 13:45, you’ll have 15 minutes to walk the board and place a gold star on one of the talks you would like to hear. One rule: please do not vote for yourself.
- At 14:00, our host, Kris Freedain, and a lucky volunteer will collect and sort the cards, then select the day’s talks from the cards receiving the most votes while ensuring the widest arrangement of topics are covered.

Presentations
At 14:15, we will return the cards to the wall in the order each talk will be given. Be ready to talk and participate! This year, we have time saved for additional presentations from 15:50-16:30 during Unconference - Part 2.
