What a pleasure!

On 5th and 6th of June 2025, the ILIAS community met for the 24th International ILIAS Conference in Berlin. Two days of learning, working and exchanging ideas about ILIAS Open Source. The Berlin-based ILIAS service provider Kröpelin Projekt GmbH was responsible for organizing this year’s conference.

As every year, after the conference is before the conference. At the end of this year's conference, Product Manager Matthias Kunkel announced the venue for next year's conference:

The 25th International ILIAS Conference will take place on 9th and 10th September 2026 in Hamburg.

Location

The ILIAS conference took place at St. Elisabeth and Villa Elisabeth in Invalidenstr. 3, 10115 Berlin-Mitte. The church park was also available for informal discussions. The highlight of the conference, the social event on Thursday evening, also took place in the villa and park. All night owls continued the party from 10 pm in the neighbouring Acud Club.

Sustainability

We wanted to make the 24th ILIAS conference as sustainable as possible. It was great to see the understanding and support we received. This time, some things worked a little differently than usual.

For example, there was no printed material, no flyers etc. We tried to measure and offset the CO2 emissions generated. We encouraged you to travel by train and use Berlin's public transport system. The wonderful catering was sustainable and waste was diligently separated at the event location. Thank you for accepting all of this so well.
