I love VDT
For the fans: support the community event you love and lock in the best price while doing it.
Blind Bird
For the bold: buy before a single speaker is announced and pay the early-adopter price.
Early Bird
For the planners: the line-up is taking shape and the price is still ahead of the curve.
Student
Studying in Switzerland? Come and meet the industry you are about to join, for less than a textbook.
Standard
The full conference day: every talk, every conversation, the whole experience.
Inspire. Have Fun. Repeat.
In 2026, we welcomed the community back to the Palazzo dei Congressi in Lugano for another inspiring edition filled with insightful sessions and great energy. Get a feel for the experience by checking out our #VDT videos on YouTube and browsing the event photos on Flickr. The 12th edition lands on Friday, 19 February 2027, with hands-on workshops the day before. Expect production-grade talks, honest hallway conversations, and the friendliest developer crowd south of the Alps. Follow us on X and LinkedIn so you don't miss the Call for Speakers, Blind Bird tickets and line-up announcements. Don't miss Voxxed Days Ticino 2027: let's create another success story together!
Java, JavaScript, AI or infrastructure: whatever you build, you will find your people here. Palm trees included.

Speakers Diversity & Inclusion
Although we are a community and not-for-profit conference, VDT has a limited budget for speaker travel and accommodation. To keep our stage accessible to everyone, supportive companies can cover their speaker's expenses and are recognised as a Friend of VDT.
Bring Your Company to Lugano
Hold the marketing or hiring budget, or know who does? Sponsoring VDT means a booth full of conversations with the developer community between Milan and Zürich, and first contact with the talent you want to hire. Ask us for the sponsor deck.
Friends of VDT
Meetups, non-profit organisations, community groups and supportive companies that help make VDT what it is: vibrant, welcoming and inclusive. Cover your speaker's travel, or lend a hand, and join them as a Friend of VDT.
Location
Palazzo dei Congressi in Lugano, our home for the 12th time: 10 minutes on foot from Lugano FFS station, with the lake right around the corner.
