CommCon 2026 Düsseldorf
CommCon is a technical conference. Our audience are developers, architects, and engineers who work in and around real-time communications, VoIP, video delivery, and open media. CommCon has always been as much about video transport and delivery as it is about telephony - if you're building anything that moves media in real time, you're in the right place. Our audience can smell a marketing talk from a mile away.
We want talks that are honest, specific, and grounded in real experience. Show us your work. Tell us what broke. Tell us what surprised you. Tell us what you figured out that nobody else has figured out yet.
Topics we're particularly interested in for 2026:
Voice AI — building real AI voice agents, integrating LLMs with telephony, the actual state of speech-to-speech models (Deepgram, ElevenLabs, OpenAI Realtime API, Cartesia and others), what's working and what absolutely isn't
AI voice pipelines — end-to-end pipeline architecture for real-time voice AI: STT, LLM, TTS, latency management, tool calling, turn detection — the full stack, warts and all
WhatsApp calling — integrating voice calling via the WhatsApp Business Platform, what the API actually looks like in production, and where it fits in a wider communications strategy
SIP in the modern world — trunking, interop, registrar design, carrier integration in 2026
WebRTC — what's new, what's changed, what's finally landed in browsers
VoIP infrastructure — Kamailio, OpenSIPS, Asterisk, FreeSWITCH, Jambonz, drachtio — real-world deployment stories and hard-won lessons
SRT and low-latency streaming — broadcast workflows, contribution, distribution
WHIP/WHEP — the evolving ingest/egress landscape and what it means in production
Open source project updates — if you're a maintainer, we want to hear from you
Security — SIP fraud, STIR/SHAKEN, what keeps you up at night
Interop and open standards — IETF, W3C, wherever the important work is happening
If you're working on something that fits the CommCon spirit — technical, open, honest — submit it and let's talk.
