Announcing Node-RED Con 2026: Call for Papers Now Open
The community conference returns on November 3, themed around Node-RED at the Edge of Intelligence.
Node-RED Con is back. The community conference returns on Tuesday, November 3, 2026 — free, online, and open to everyone. FlowFuse is proud to sponsor this year's event alongside the OpenJS Foundation.
This year's theme is Node-RED at the Edge of Intelligence.
The Call for Papers is open
The conference agenda is built entirely from community submissions. The organizing team is looking for talks across three formats:
- Full Talks & Demos (25–30 mins): Technical talks, case studies, and practical demonstrations aligned with this year's theme. Submissions are particularly encouraged in these areas: real-world Node-RED deployments in production, AI integration (LLMs, agents, MCP), edge computing architectures, industrial use cases (PLCs, SCADA, OPC-UA, MQTT), and using AI tools to build and manage flows.
- Lightning Talks (8–10 mins): Fun, cool, or inspiring projects built with Node-RED — no matter how unconventional. IoT/IIoT and AI projects are encouraged, but any project you're proud of is welcome.
- Panelists: Experts with strong opinions and experience in industrial automation, AI in industrial environments, IoT security, or the future of low-code development.
Submit your talk CFP closes Friday, July 31, 2026.
