Community Hub
Plug in for inspiration. Unplug for conversation.
This year we offer two session types, as well as the comeback of the Opportunity Corner!
The Call for Proposals for the Community Hub is now open until 10 March. Review the guidelines to get your idea ready.
Unplugged Sessions Recommended Formats
Where communities find each other.
A welcoming space for meet-ups, newcomer introductions, or topic-based conversations. Whether you want to highlight a regional initiative, bring visibility to a project, or host a thematic meet-up (AI, cybersecurity, sustainability, etc.), this is the place to gather and meet with the community.
Building the future together.
Interactive, hands-on sessions where participants co-create: future timelines, shared maps of challenges and opportunities, design exercises, or other creative group activities that rely on physical materials rather than screens.
Personal conversations, tailored insights.
Short, focused exchanges where participants connect with experts, developers, or practitioners for one-on-one or small-group discussions. Perfect for Q&A, matchmaking, practical advice, or “Meet the Developers” conversations.
Share a story. Spark a conversation.
A relaxed, screen-free storytelling environment where community members share personal experiences, project journeys, behind-the-scenes insights, or “how we did it” stories – followed by group reflection and discussion.
Important to know
The Community Hub has its own dedicated space in TNC26’s main venue, Helsinki Music Hall. The sessions will take place in the Lower Foyer, on the 1st floor of the venue. It can be accessed through the main lobby on the 3rd floor via the lift or stairs.
The space is informal, dynamic and open to all, therefore background noise is to be expected.
Basic AV equipment (screen and projector, microphone, but no VC equipment) will be provided.
Remote sessions will not be accepted. Presenters will have to be physically present at the TNC26 venue.
