Hello, dear Confiturians!

That’s gonna be an intensive weekend, fully packed with knowledge uploading into your heads and handshakes with some of the best-known software experts in the IT community. But before you start imagining yourself having a great time at our conference on 25 and 26 September, let’s go through some important logistics.

Check your ticket

If you have your ticket in hand, please check whether it includes lunch. “Ticket with lunch” / “bilet z lunch” should be clearly stated on your ticket. If it doesn’t mention lunch, you’ll need to cover the cost of lunch yourself. No worries, you can pay by cash or card at the food court.

Check your workshop registration

Have you already registered for your workshop? Every attendee gets one workshop per ticket. To register, go to the Confitura event page on eBilet and use your ticket number during checkout to book the workshop of your choice. Want to attend more than one workshop? There’s still a chance! Just check whether there are any spots available in the workshop room right before the workshop starts and ask our volunteers if you can join. This is not guaranteed, but if there are empty spots, you might just get lucky.

Registration

Registration starts at 8:00 on Friday. If you’re running late, no worries. There will be someone at the registration desk throughout the event, and our helpful volunteers will be there to assist you. Please bring your ticket. We prefer the electronic version displayed on your phone, tablet, or laptop. If you really want to print it, you can, but please keep the environment and our eco efforts in mind. Your ticket code will be scanned by our volunteers. This is the fastest option, so if you arrive without your ticket and say, “I can give you my name, just find me in your system,” it might take a little while. At the registration desk, you’ll receive your welcome pack and T-shirt. From there, head to the 4th floor, where the conference takes place: talks, workshops, panels, and coffee breaks.

Finding us

Our venue is the ADN Conference Centre, Grzybowska 56, entrance B. We’ll try to mark the way with our branding materials and arrows. But if you have trouble finding the signs, look for the fully trained reception staff and, more importantly, a bunch of people in red T-shirts. That’s our volunteer crew!

Need help?

If you run into any problems, you can use our C-bot virtual assistant, embedded on our homepage, or contact us directly by email. We’ll be monitoring our mailbox throughout the conference, so we’ll do our best to handle any issues promptly.

Finally…

A big thank you to our Platinum Partner, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., a leading global investment banking, securities, and investment management firm that provides a wide range of financial services to a substantial and diversified client base that includes corporations, financial institutions, governments, and individuals. The firm maintains offices in all major financial centers around the world, our Gold Partner, XTB, one of Europe’s top FinTech platforms, our Silver Partners, Capital.com, TPC and InPost, our Bronze Partners, DPDgroup IT Solutions, Sages, Cantor Fitzgerald and SkillPanel, and our Tech Partner, DataLinks, for helping us make Confitura happen.

See you at Confitura! ❤️

Hello September, the lovely season of pumpkin spice everything, autumn (code) vibes, and everything cosy and warm. 🍂

Warm as our welcome to this year’s Confitura. Just a reminder: 25-26 September 2026, Warsaw - when community and knowledge meet, for the 16th time in our history.

And, as always, none of this would happen without the companies and organisations supporting the community. A big thank you to our Platinum Partner: The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., a leading global investment banking, securities, and investment management firm that provides a wide range of financial services to a substantial and diversified client base that includes corporations, financial institutions, governments, and individuals. The firm maintains offices in all major financial centers around the world; our Gold Partner: XTB, one of Europe’s top FinTech platforms, Bronze Partners: DPDgroup IT Solutions, Sages, and Cantor Fitzgerald, and our Tech Partner DataLinks, for helping us make Confitura happen.

The conference lineup is being built here.

Tickets can be purchased here.

And there’s more: every ticket, whether one-day or two-day, gives you access to one workshop of your choice, available here.

How do you sign up for a workshop?

1. Registration is available via eBilet, just like the ticket sale.
2. After buying your ticket, choose the workshop you’re interested in from the list available on eBilet.
3. Use the access code from your ticket (your ticket number) to reserve your spot. And that’s it - your reservation is done! You have a seat at the workshop; all you need to do is prepare your setup. The requirements are listed on this page.
4. Please note: workshop capacity is limited. If you’re looking for a workshop that is already sold out and you can’t see it on the list, that means registration is no longer available and the workshop has been removed from the list.
5. BUT, of course, we’ll have more workshop spots available than participants. So if, after registering for your chosen workshop, you find yourself tempted by another cool one, you may still have a chance to join it!

How do you reserve a spot at an additional workshop?

Actually, you can’t. 😈

BUT if you arrive at the workshop room before the workshop starts and there are still free seats, you can join in.

So basically: register for one, and keep your fingers crossed for the others.

Hey, if you still don’t have your ticket for the event, why not bring a friend and take advantage of our special offer? More friends, more fun, better deal.

I know, I know… I’m starting to repeat myself. But just in case you somehow still haven’t noticed: Confitura is built for the community and by the community. And right now, as we’re revealing the agenda slot by slot, you can already tell one thing: 2026 is going to be ridiculously good. Also, yes, after what felt like an epic quest involving forms, systems, and probably a few grey hairs, tickets are finally officially on sale.

Krzysiek definitely deserves a badge for surviving this one.

But beyond the agenda and tickets, there’s something else I’ve been thinking about recently. There was a time when Confitura was the place for me to meet new people. Then, over the years, it became the best way to reconnect with all those fantastic humans I’d met along the way. And now? Well… life happened. We all moved forward a bit. We grew up (allegedly). We got homes, families, responsibilities, and - brace yourself - serious hobbies. Suddenly, meeting “those software people from conferences” isn’t always at the very top of the priority list anymore. And that made me think. There are people I haven’t seen in years. And I genuinely wonder: What are they up to? Are they doing well? Did they finally rewrite everything… again? Sure, we have the internet. Social media. Endless scrolling. But let’s be honest - those updates? They’re never the full picture. Not even close. So I asked myself: can we somehow bring that back? And yes, I’m repeating myself again: but a lot of good things in my life happened because I met the right people at the right time. So… what if we give luck a little push? Here’s the idea:

• Write me an email at myfirstname[at]confitura[dot]pl
• CC someone you haven’t seen in forever - the one you truly miss and sometimes wonder if a reunion is even still on the table
• And make a simple plan to ask them: “Hey, how are you, buddy?” during a hallway track at Confitura

 

If you both decide to join us, I’ll give you both a - 10% discount on Confitura 2026 tickets. Best case? You reconnect. You catch up. You laugh. You learn something new. And who knows - maybe it turns into:

• a side project
• an open-source collaboration
• or even a Y Combinator W27 submission 👀

 

Worst case? You have a good conversation with a human you once liked. Not bad, right? If this works, a lot of people might be surprised by the outcome. And me? I’ll be absolutely amazed.

TICKETS

Tickets for the conference will be available at the end of July.

While you wait, follow our speaker lineup updates, we’re busy behind the scenes shaping this year’s agenda and making sure your favorite topics and speakers find their place on the Confitura stage.

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

P.S. A small piece of industry news before we go: how often do you change your passwords?

P.S. #2 A little piece of Confitura nostalgia. For those who’ve been with us for years, and for those who enjoy digging through conference archaeology.

Hello, hi and hey ChatGPT… or whatever you start your prompts with these days.

You’re probably here to see what’s been cooking, so let’s get straight to it.

We met recently in Warsaw - to spend some time together, to reset a bit, and to start shaping the next edition of Confitura. And things are already moving:

• we have a venue (ADN, Grzybowska, Warsaw);
• we have dates: September 25-26 (Friday & Saturday, same as last year);
• Thanks to Dominik casually shipping late evening PRs like it’s nothing, Call for Papers is open (closing June 7th). Things are happening. It’s officially time to start preparing your submissions;
• The full playlist from the 2025 edition is already out there - but Tymek is posting one talk per day on social media, nicely surfacing them one by one. So you can finally stop lying to yourself about watching the whole thing “this weekend”. One per day. Manageable. Almost elegant.

On the partner side, the sponsorship prospectus is almost ready - Krzysiek did a fantastic job. We just need to sprinkle a bit of confetti and fireworks on top before sending it out into the world. If you know any organization that wants to build its employer brand at one of the oldest (and, yes, one of the most software-able) industry conferences - send them our way.

We’ve also been discussing ticket pricing. There will be an early bird option for those of you who trust us enough to grab a ticket before the agenda is announced (we see you, and we appreciate you). One-day tickets will be available as well.

As always, a lot of ideas are being thrown around during our weekly calls. If you have something in mind - an idea, a suggestion, a wild improvement - just drop us a message. We genuinely love that.

Meanwhile, outside our little conference bubble, things are… evolving:

• AI token costs are starting to give CFOs sleepless nights, which might push companies to rethink their strategies [1];
• Starlink is no longer running alone at the front - competition is catching up fast [2];
• Intel is stepping back from parts of its open source engagement, which may signal a broader shift in the ecosystem (or maybe not… let’s hope not - deep breath in, slow exhale out) [3].
• an amateur just solved a 60-year-old math problem with AI - using a method no human had thought of. Nothing to see here. Or maybe everything [4].

That’s all for April.

Stay safe, stay curious, and prosper,

–

Ida, on behalf of the Confitura team

C4P is closed, long live the V4P

We've got the talks. Now it's your turn.

As every year, the Confitura community decides what makes it onto the stage. Browse the submissions, vote for your favourites, and help us build the agenda.

No pressure. The future of the conference is entirely in your hands. VOTE 4 PAPERS until July 1st.

TICKETS

Tickets for the conference will go on sale at the beginning of July, opening the path from anticipation to participation.

Hello from the other year,

Confitura 2025 is already behind us, yet close enough to remember the conversations, ideas, and moments that made it special. Some things ended when the rooms emptied. Others stayed with us and are already shaping what comes next.

Confitura was never just a conference. Talks, workshops, and speakers matter, but they are artifacts. What we aim to serve are the conditions for learning, confidence, and real connection. The 15th edition showed that clearly, with over 450 attendees and 60 speakers spending two days learning with intention rather than rushing between rooms.

If you want to revisit those moments, the full Confitura 2025 playlist is now available and well worth watching.

We are happy to share that work on Confitura 2026 is already underway. We will meet again on 25–26 September 2026 at the ADN Conference Centre in Warsaw, keeping the same format because it works. As before, workshops that are often paid trainings on the market will be part of the ticket, thanks to experts contributing pro bono.

The conference was never the goal. First and foremost, we wanted to have you there, and the values you care about most.

Thank you for being part of Confitura 2025. We look forward to seeing you at Confitura 2026,

Dominik, Ida, Krzysiek, Łukasz, Magda & Tymek

Dear Confiturians,

The moment we have all been waiting for is almost here. Confitura begins tomorrow, and we would like to share with you the most important information to ensure that your experience is smooth and enjoyable from the very beginning.

Registration opens at 8:00, and the official opening will take place at 9:00. After a short introduction, we will let you dive directly into the rich program of talks and workshops. The conference will be held at the ADN Conference Centre, Grzybowska 56.

Important: Upon arrival, please proceed to the registration desk on the ground floor, where your ticket will be checked. From there, you will be guided to the 4th floor, where the conference takes place.

On the 4th floor, you will find everything you need in one place: coffee breaks, workshop rooms, cloakroom, toilets, and talk rooms. The only exceptions are lunch and the afterparty. Please keep in mind that lunch is self-organised - you may choose something refined or go for a quick option in the food court located on the ground floor.

The Spoina afterparty will also be held in the food court space, immediately after the first day of the conference. It will be an opportunity to talk more, mingle more, learn more, and perhaps laugh more, all accompanied by beverages of your choice. As a small bonus, the Confitura crew will be sharing drink coupons with attendees - quantities are limited, so be sure to join us early and enjoy the moment together.

To attend the conference, you will need your ticket, either in digital form or printed, though we encourage you to consider the environmental impact before printing. Please make sure you have both your main ticket and, if you are attending a workshop, the separate ticket for that session. On that note, if your workshop is a “bring your own laptop” format, please ensure you have packed everything you require. We cannot provide spare equipment, and while we are well-stocked in pencils, chewing gum, and tissues, laptops are unfortunately beyond our lending capacity. If you have not yet booked a workshop slot, you can still do so at the registration desk with the help of Krzysiek. Please note, however, that workshop capacity is limited, so additional registrations will only be possible if there are still spots available.

The program is long, rich, and packed with content. We encourage you to choose your sessions wisely so as not to overload yourself during the first day - remember, we continue on Saturday. If you happen to miss a talk, all sessions will be recorded and later published on our YouTube channel, albeit with a slight delay. Think of it as a treat to look forward to, though possibly only in 2026.

Finally, if you know a colleague, friend, or perhaps even a stranger you meet at the café while picking up a pumpkin spice latte, do let them know that ticket sales remain open until very late.

Who’s in the mix?

If you are a seasoned reader of our irregular mailings, you have already met Krzysiek, Magda, Dominik, Tymek, and Ida. Now it is time to introduce the last hero of the 2025 edition: Łukasz. A senior software developer at a fintech company, Łukasz has long been part of Confitura as an attendee. This year, we asked him if he would lend us a hand with scheduling and logistics, and he agreed. We are not entirely sure whether he is a member of the 5 a.m. club, but he is certainly the kind of person who prefers to cross items off his to-do list before his morning coffee. We once tried to explain the concept of procrastination to him, but he did not quite grasp the idea.

The Final Countdown to Confitura Has Begun!

The clock is ticking - Confitura is almost here! If you are still hesitating, it’s time to decide. Our agenda, designed by the software community itself, is packed with golden talks and must-attend workshops. Two full days of knowledge, inspiration, and a friendly, one-of-a-kind vibe - an experience you simply cannot replace.

Not sure about the budget? Ask your employer to cover the ticket from the corporate training budget - we’ll gladly provide a written recommendation to support your case. Flexible options are available:

• 1-day ticket for those commuting in and out of Warsaw the same day - choose Friday or Saturday.
• Discounts for university students and active community contributors (OSS or community initiatives).

And remember: every ticket unlocks access to our workshops! Use your ticket number (below the barcode) to reserve your spot today. Don’t wait until the very last moment - secure your place now.

Join us before it’s too late. Confitura awaits!

Hello Friends, Followers, and Curious Clickers,

We’re counting down the days to Confitura! Here’s a reminder for all ticket holders: if you’ve spent 555 PLN on two days packed with talks, fun, and community - you also have the option to join one workshop of your choice.

Workshops follow the rule of “first booked, first served”. Capacity is limited (by design - small groups work best for hands-on learning). So if you’ve been procrastinating, don’t leave it until the very last moment. To reserve your spot, just take the ticket number from your ticket, use it as the “access code” on the ebilet page of your chosen workshop, and you’re in.

But before you pick, check the agenda - it’s full of treasures. The truth is, we received an overwhelming number of fantastic submissions. The community made the final pick, and while we wish we could host every speaker, Confitura lasts only two days this year.

Who’s waiting for you on stage? Just to name a few: Krzysztof Czartoryski, Marit van Dijk, Francisco Ferreira, Pasha Finkelshteyn, Andrzej Grzesik, Mateusz Kamiński, Olena Kutsenko, Jakub Kubryński, Bartek Kuczyński, Sebastian Łaskawiec, Mateusz Łyczek, Michał Niczyporuk, Jakub Nabrdalik, Grzegorz Piwowarek, Piotr Przybył, Sławomir Sobótka, Artur Skowroński, Kamil Szymański, Marcin Zajączkowski (deep breath)… and more than 60 speakers in total!

Together they’ll bring you a mix of technical deep dives, soft skills sessions, and practical workshops - all delivered in Confitura’s signature friendly, community-driven atmosphere.

And none of this would be possible without our partners…

#MeetTheCTeam

Magda – if you’ve been with Confitura since day one, you know her. Always smiling, always ready, her backpack is basically a survival kit - one that could rival Napoleon’s army pack. This year, she officially joined the core team, taking care of partnerships and sponsors. Her “can-do” attitude makes everything click.

Tymek – another volunteer-turned-core member. He’s now in charge of social media, volunteers and this year’s merch. Honestly, if we asked him to fix a rocket, he’d probably do it - and have time left to joke about it. Also, Tymek is the proud curator of a legendary Confitura meme collection. Ask him about it at the conference - laughter guaranteed. We’ll leave you with best wishes for the rest of the week. And hopefully - see you in just two weeks!

Warm regards,

The Confitura Team

Proudly brewing a place for software minds to meet and grow, since 2007

Hello there,

We hope your week is going well! We’ve got two important updates for you.

First: Vote for Papers ends this Friday.

This is your chance to help shape the Confitura 2025 agenda and make it the strongest yet. Take a few minutes to browse the submissions and vote for the talks you’d love to see on September 19–20.

This year, Confitura will be a two-day conference, featuring an additional NLP Day track and giving every attendee the opportunity to join a workshop.

Cast your vote here - voting closes on August 15.

Second: ticket sales will be opening soon.

As you know, Confitura has always been a non-profit event run by and for the community. We work hard to keep the ticket price accessible, but rising costs mean that this year the price will be 500–550 PLN gross.

You might say that’s ten times more than in 2023 - and you’d be right. But in today’s “This Is Fine IT-pocalypse” market, conference budgeting is more challenging than ever. Let’s face it: without our partners (see below), it would be much worse. Thanks to Krzysiek, we can honestly say it’s money well spent, bringing real value to attendees. This price covers part of the costs: venue, refreshments, recordings, and other essentials that keep Confitura running. Plus, thanks to our cooperation with Sages, we’re able to offer -10% off any Java course from their offer.

If you’re actively involved in building the IT community, whether by running a meetup, contributing to open source, or organizing events, you may qualify for a community discount. Just email us.

Those who partner with us

Our Gold Partner this year is Revolut. Revolut helps you spend, send, and save smarter - it’s your new favourite way to do all things money. Their mission is to remove the friction that stands in the way of your money goals becoming your reality. Whether it’s a quick payment, splitting a bill, or setting up savings, Revolut makes it as seamless as possible. If you’d like to join the Revolut team, you can find all current openings here.

We’re enormously grateful to XTB for supporting us as a Silver Partner. Their mission is to provide solutions that make clients’ money work for them in many different ways - all accessible through digital tools, supported by their team in Poland (pssst… they’re hiring).

The organization of Confitura is actively supported by Sages, our Path Partner and the organizer of NLP Day (yes, more content!). They also give our attendees -10% off any Java course from their offer - not bad, right?

#MeetTheTeam

Dominik – Full Stack Dev @ Confitura

A long-time presence in WJUG, Javarsovia, and Warsjawa. A devoted backend developer who’s always been a Java coder… until early 2025, when he discovered Scala and FP. In our hyper-agile team, Dominik does it all: frontend, backend, web, mobile, orchestration, and sometimes even sysadmin work… but no, he cannot fix your printer. Please stop asking.

Ida – Marketing Something-Something @ Confitura

Finds gold in community work. Handles marketing, community coordination, events, and copywriting - and feels at home mingling with dev communities while happily playing “the dummy in the room.” No hands-on coding, but can throw JVM buzzwords around with suspicious fluency. Also wrote this very newsletter.

This newsletter is an irregular broadcast from the Confitura 2025 organizing team. Please consider not printing it and handing it to your pet - dogs are notoriously prone to chewing things, and you risk ending up with the classic “dog ate my newsletter” excuse. If you absolutely must print it, please use double-sided, black-and-white settings. Then, as an act of creative sustainability, fold it into an origami Labubu. We promise it will spark at least one confused conversation.

We can’t wait to see you in September!

Happy Birthday, Matt!

#WhoIsWho: Meet the CEO

Krzysiek Kozioł, CEO @ Confitura

Krzysiek is the person with the most experience on the team - in life, code, and organizing Confitura.

He’s:

• a seasoned architect and trainer
• a veteran with 25+ years in the industry
• a father of two, and husband after hours
• the one handling budgeting, hospitality, atmosphere planning, and all the high-level logistics

Honestly, we’re not sure how he stays so calm, but Confitura wouldn’t be possible without him. It’s thanks to Krzysiek’s steady hand that the 2025 resurrection of the conference became a reality.

So if you see him at Confitura on September 19–20, be sure to shake his hand - and maybe even say “Dzięki”.

If you have any questions, just send an email to the entire crew: [name of the conference] [at] [conference domain] (no “https”, no spaces).

Keep coding, stay curious, and we’ll see you at Confitura!

We are live
