What if a conference didn’t end with a Q&A, but with your problem on the table?
For the Business Track at Plone Conference 2026, we’ve built something different.
We start with one question:
What does digital sovereignty look like in the systems an organisation actually runs?
A sovereignty requirement that sounds good on paper but gets complicated in production.
Put it to the people on stage.
The goal isn’t to leave with more slides.
It’s to leave with a clearer assessment of what you should do next.

For an institution committing to a platform for the next decade, that difference is a procurement question, and almost nobody asks it.

can pick it up or leave it. That is what "offered for ratification" looks like while it is happening, rather than in a press release afterwards.
He is also direct about what does not ship in core, which is the part a vendor roadmap never contains.
