Hello dear Koha community,
While some of us are preparing to gather in Wellington, Aotearoa New
Zealand this November for KohaCon25 (https://2025.kohacon.org/), it is
also time to look ahead to KohaCon26.
The bidding period closed on 28 March 2025, with two strong proposals
submitted. To let the community decide, a vote was organized on
Mattermost
(https://chat.koha-community.org/koha-community/pl/drrwyk6xxpydxxna4qbte8sj4o),
which remained open until 12 September 2025 at 23:59 UTC.
The results were as follows
(https://chat.koha-community.org/koha-community/pl/9rchhhc7hfrtdq8ruxknau7qbo):
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany: 126 votes
Cyprus University of Technology Library, Cyprus: 21 votes
On behalf of the community, I want to sincerely thank both institutions
for their enthusiastic bids. Hosting an international conference is a
major commitment and a huge contribution to Koha. The fact that more
than one institution stepped forward shows the value the community
places on KohaCon as a place for us to share knowledge, collaborate, and
strengthen our community.
Please join me in congratulating KIT on being selected as the host of
KohaCon26. The next updates will come from the KIT team as they begin
planning the event. They will share news with you as it becomes available.
I look forward to seeing many of you in Karlsruhe, Germany in 2026!
Warm regards,
Caroline Cyr La Rose
