The Call for Proposals for LDAPCon 2026 is officially open. Since 2007, LDAPCon has been the international conference for LDAP, Identity & Access Management (IAM), and directory services, bringing together developers, architects, security experts, and the global LDAP community.
LDAPCon 2026 will be a three-day event: one full workshop day followed by two conference days packed with technical talks, best practices, and community discussions.
Are you using LDAP in innovative projects?
Do you develop LDAP clients or servers?
Have you implemented LDAP in new or unexpected ways?
Or are you building modern Identity & Access Management solutions on top of LDAP?
Then share your experience with the international LDAP community!
We are looking for presentations and workshops covering topics such as:
- LDAP implementations, APIs, and directory services
- LDAP security, operations, scaling, and performance
- IAM, Identity Federation, and Identity as a Service
- OAuth2, OpenID Connect, SCIM, SAML, and PKI
- Strong authentication and modern web authentication
- Best practices for LDAP and enterprise identity solutions
- LDAP in cloud, IoT, and hybrid environments
We welcome both technical deep dives and real-world case studies. Proposals can be submitted for workshops (90 minutes or 3 hours) as well as conference presentations (45 minutes including at leas 5 minutes of discussion time).
Be aware there will be also a slot for lightning talks (5 minutes), but there is no need to submit an abstract for that. You can spontaneously give a short talk.
