Join us for Wagtail Space NL 2026
Code, coffee, and community at Q42
Mark your calendars! On Friday, June 12th, the Wagtail community is descending upon Rotterdam. This year’s edition of Wagtail Space NL will be taking over the Q42 office for a day packed with everything that makes the open-source world so great.
We've confirmed that Thibaud Colas and Dan Braghiș from the Wagtail core team will be speaking. We also have an open call for proposals. If you have an idea for a talk, please submit it on Pretalx!
Wagtail Space isn't your average sit-and-listen conference. Besides the single-track conference on Friday, you can also attend the collaborative code sprint on Thursday (optional).
For the builders, the thinkers, and the creators
Wagtail Space NL is home to enthusiasts of all skill levels. It’s the perfect playground for:
- Developers who want to sharpen their Python / Django skills and contribute to the Wagtail ecosystem.
- Content editors and digital innovators looking to discover the latest features and best practices.
- Strategists and creators who want to see what’s possible when you push a CMS to its limits.
Global vibes in Rotterdam
Digital product studio Q42 is known for its work with Philips Hue, Rijksmuseum, HEMA, Hitster, among others. The Q42 office in Rotterdam is literally a stone’s throw from Central Station.
Because this is an international event, the room will be filled with core contributors and package authors from around the world. It’s a rare chance to have a coffee with the people whose names you usually only see on GitHub. English is the primary language, making it a seamless experience for the global community to share insights and war stories from their own complex implementations.
