Foreman Birthday & VoxConf 2026

Save the date! VoxConf + Foreman Birthday is happening on July 16 in Garching, near Munich, Germany :tada:

This year’s event is proudly sponsored and organized by ATIX AG, together with Vox Pupuli for the VoxConf part—so you can expect great content and an awesome community atmosphere!

Just like last year:
:sun: Morning: VoxConf
:birthday_cake: Afternoon: Foreman Birthday event

:backhand_index_pointing_right: Make sure to register via the meetup event so we can plan everything smoothly—thanks a lot!

:microphone: Call for Papers is open!
We’re looking for exciting talks about:

  • Foreman usage & real-world experiences

  • Cool plugins (like Katello!)

  • Development insights

:stopwatch: Talks can be either 25 or 50 minutes, depending on your topic.
