Wagtail Space 2026

About

Wagtail Space is the community event for Wagtail, the open source content management system built on Python and Django. It brings together developers, content editors, designers and organisations that use Wagtail to publish websites, with presenting support from Torchbox, the company that created the CMS. The 2026 edition is a free virtual event held from 18 to 20 November, with registration handled through Zoom. Rather than long full-day sessions, the programme is arranged as half-day schedules of talks across the three days, complemented by virtual socials that give attendees informal time to connect. Expected contributors include members of the Wagtail core team, and the event is supported by several agencies that build on the platform. Content typically covers new Wagtail features, Django development practices, accessibility, editorial workflows and real-world case studies. The online format and free registration make it easy for people across time zones to take part, whether they write code, create content or manage digital projects. Wagtail Space matters to the Python open source community as a key opportunity to learn from the core team, share experience and help shape the CMS's direction.
