Overview
Node-RED Con 2026 is a free, online conference organized by the Node-RED community. Its theme is “Node-RED at the Edge of Intelligence.” The event brings together developers, engineers, and industrial IoT professionals to share practical work and experiences using Node-RED. The page describes a program of more than ten talks focused on production use, including edge deployments, AI integration, industrial automation, and projects from the global community. The conference is open to participants interested in building with Node-RED and learning how it is applied to real-world problems.
The organizers cite the previous conference as drawing more than 1,700 registrants and over 1,100 live attendees from more than 35 countries. Those figures provide context for the event’s international community, rather than a guarantee of attendance for 2026.
