We closed out our 2025 conference season with an event in Cologne in November. While that chapter has closed, we are already focused on the year ahead. At Text Control, we start planning for the next year's conferences very early-and that's intentional.

This week, we exhibited at the DDC 2025 conference in Cologne. It's a small but important event for the .NET community in the German-speaking world. For us at Text Control, it was an opportunity to meet with many developers, customers, and friends, as well as present our latest technologies directly to the people who build real-world applications.

Text Control at DDC 2025: Bringing Next-Generation Document Technology to the .NET Community

Early planning enables us to prepare meaningful demonstrations, align our presence with our technical roadmap, and ensure that we bring the right experts to the right events. This is equally important for conference organizers and management teams. Early commitments create planning reliability, enable better program curation, and help establish long-term, trust-based partnerships. Great conferences don't happen by accident; they are the result of early collaboration.

Kicking off 2026 at full speed

We're starting 2026 off with a full-speed kickoff in January with two conferences that will set the tone for the year right away.

• CodeMash (January 13-15, 2026, Sandusky, Ohio, USA): It's a true community-driven conference and one of our long-time favorites. CodeMash consistently provides in-depth technical discussions and refreshingly honest feedback.
• NDC London (January 25-29, 2026, London, UK): We're excited to return to London, where we'll once again be sponsoring the attendee party. Informal moments like these often lead to the most valuable conversations.

Our planned conference stops in 2026

While not every contract has been finalized yet, around two-thirds of our commitments for the 2026 conference have been signed, and the calendar is shaping up very nicely. Based on our current plans, you can meet the Text Control team at the following events:

We will continue the spring season in Germany with BASTA! Spring and MD DevDays. Both events are well known for their strong technical focus and close-knit communities.

In early summer, we will be at DWX Developer Week, one of the largest developer conferences in Germany. Then, we will head to a global highlight:

WeAreDevelopers World Congress

We are proud to announce that we have signed on again to exhibit in Berlin in 2026. The WeAreDevelopers World Congress is one of the most important international meeting points for developers, and our return underscores our long-term commitment to this ecosystem.

After the summer break, we'll be back in Scandinavia for NDC Oslo. We value this conference for its technical depth and high-quality discussions.

We'll wrap up the year in Orlando at Visual Studio Live, where we'll share our latest updates and insights with another strong, long-standing community.

You can always find a continuously updated overview of all confirmed events on our 2026 conference calendar.

Why conferences matter to us in 2026

Conferences have always been important to us, but 2026 will be an especially exciting year.

Our technical roadmap is full. We're developing a wide range of new features, architectural improvements, and platform-level advancements across our document processing stack. Conferences allow us to showcase real, working solutions rather than just discussing them.

Equally important, conferences allow us to listen.

The feedback we receive at the booth, during sessions, and in spontaneous hallway conversations directly influences our roadmap. These discussions help us validate ideas, challenge assumptions, and develop solutions that address real-world problems.

For us, conferences are not just marketing events. They are an integral part of how we build better products.

Join us on the road in 2026

We're looking forward to the year ahead. If you are interested in document processing, .NET, cross-platform development, performance, accessibility, or simply enjoy thoughtful technical conversations, we'd love to meet you.

Stop by our booth to share your feedback, see what we're working on, or just say hello! We're looking forward to what 2026 will bring, and we hope to see you at one of the conferences!
