Submission deadline: 31st July
Early registration ends: 8th September
PackagingCon 2023 will bring together different software packaging ecosystems to share best practices and discuss common challenges in software packaging. From Python’s pip to Rust’s cargo to Julia’s Pkg, from Debian apt over Nix to conda and mamba, and from vcpkg to Spack. The 2021 conference drew 350+ participants and featured over 60 presentations.
PackagingCon 2023 ends in Berlin, just a few days before the Reproducible Builds Summit starts in Hamburg, just a short train ride away.
Call for Submissions
This conference is for developers of software package management tools, as well as software packagers and communities. Package management helps tame software complexity and establish and maintain software supply chain security. This is a challenging domain that embraces a diverse set of solutions. If you work in software package management then please share your work at PackagingCon! The call for submissions closes 31st July. Topics from the most focused technical questions to community engagement is welcome.

Early registration starts at €37.50 for virtual, and €150 for in person. Significant discounts are available for early registration, students, and those paying out of their own funds. Early registration ends 8th September.

PackagingCon 2023 is a rare opportunity for your organization to support and reach the core decision makers and power users of software packaging across all languages and operating systems. Multiple sponsorship levels are available to suit your budget and goals. Please join sponsors such as Quansight and Anaconda to help make PackagingCon 2023 possible and affordable.
We hope to see you in October, and your presentation proposals this month,

I am all for a conference of this nature. Thank you for sharing this.
It depends on what your target audience is aside from existing
packagers. I think it would be a good idea to have one or two talks
about how to get started with package management. Of course, the ways of
getting engaged various across communities, but I imagine there is a
well-sized set of characteristics each community has that can help
newbies get started.
