The Event
The BTD
The Big Techday is a one-day conference on science and technology, particularly IT. It is organized by TNG once a year, because it is fun. The program will be similar to the agendas of its predecessors.
Language
The talks are given in German or English. However, we have at least one English talk at any given time.
Time and Form
Date and Venue
Big Techday 26 will take place on Friday, May 22nd, 2026 at the Motorworld in Munich. We expect about 2,000 guests.
Food
During the whole event, free catering is provided, including coffee breaks, lunch buffet, and a dinner.
Participants
Guests
The guests are people with technical/scientific curiosity and a deep interest in information technology. The conference is generally aimed at employees of TNG as well as those of other companies with an IT focus. Additionally, students of relevant fields of study and members of user groups and the Society for Computer Science will also participate. Additionally, we will stream the talks without any restriction. You may make friends and colleagues aware of your talk and the conference. Participation in the Big Techday is free of charge,but prior registration is required.
Speakers
Most of our speakers have an IT background, but some also come from other areas such as physics and mathematics. Among them are scientists as well as practitioners. Some are also adventurers and artists.
Requests to the Speakers
The talk
The speakers can freely choose and handle their topic. The idea is that the speakers will talk about something that they themselves consider important, new, interesting, surprising, or technically cool.
Duration of the talk
The talk will last approx. 45 minutes, followed by a 10-minute Q&A session.
Deliverables
In the following, we would like to draw the attention to some information that we ideally would receive as soon as possible, but no later than two weeks before the Big Techday.
We kindly request the following information from all speakers, which we will publish on the website:
The title and language of the talk - preferable as soon as possible, also preliminary title

We may make some stylistic changes in the abstract and biography if necessary. We may shorten texts longer than 800 characters. Of course, we will not make any changes to the actual information in the texts.
