Hi!

It’s a tradition that Confitura, since its inception, has been a place where pivotal figures shared groundbreaking ideas from the stage. Throughout all these years, we’ve been lucky to host THE names that have changed the industry, software development, and the community itself.

But why do we always have the best speakers?

Well, the fantastic selection of talk submissions is only part of the success. The secret ingredient is the power of the community.

We don’t have a programme committee, advisors, or the urge to select talks on our own. Instead, we delegate this task to the people who vote on what they want to see at the upcoming event.

That’s actually quite convenient from our side, because we don’t have to spend too much effort creating the agenda, nor do we have to predict what people are going to like and want to watch. The community does the selection itself.

Brilliant idea, if you ask me. And I’m saying that because it has worked for at least the last 10 years of organizing Confitura.

And with that slightly-too-long introduction, let’s get to the point:

Vote 4 Papers is open!

Until July 1st, you can click, swipe, tap, or whatever people do these days, and select the talks that seem the most interesting to you.

Vote 4 Papers was made possible thanks to Dominik.

Just a friendly reminder: if your company is looking for a place to work on employer-branding activities, wants to show off a product, or is entering the Polish market and needs a spot for a public launch, we have a perfect partnership opportunity during Confitura on September 25–26 this year.

Ping us at confitura[at]confitura[dot]com if you’re interested in the details.

People have already started asking about tickets, and ticket sales will begin Soon™. The timing will roughly overlap with the end of Vote 4 Papers and the publication of the Confitura 2026 agenda.

Until next time.

Ida and the Confitura Team
