Node-RED Con 2026

About

Node-RED Con 2026 is the annual online conference for the Node-RED community, the open-source, flow-based programming tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs, and online services. The 2026 edition takes place on 3 November 2026 as a free virtual event running from 14:00 to 20:00 GMT, under the theme "Node-RED at the Edge of Intelligence". It is aimed at engineers, developers, integrators, and makers who build with Node-RED in production and at the edge. The programme consists of more than ten talks from practitioners deploying Node-RED in real environments, with a focus on edge deployments, AI integration, industrial automation, and community-built projects. Speakers include members of the core Node-RED project alongside engineers from manufacturing, telecommunications, and industrial automation organisations. The previous edition attracted more than 1,700 registrants and over 1,100 live attendees from more than 35 countries, reflecting the breadth of the project's global user base. Attendees gain a direct view of how Node-RED is being used in industrial IoT and AI-adjacent settings, along with the chance to hear from the project's maintainers about its direction. For a low-code tool that spans hobbyist and enterprise use, the conference is the main annual gathering of its community.
