The conference brings together people from the fields of development, art, design and translation. They are joined by sponsors and supporters from all over the world who have been working together online throughout the year and are now getting to know each other live. They will discuss technical issues, explore new ideas and strengthen KDE's innovative and dynamic culture.

Akademy 2024 will take place as a hybrid event, combining face-to-face interactions and online events. The conference consists of lectures, panel discussions, workshops, training sessions and collaborative development work. It is co-organised on site by the working group of Professor Andreas Nüchter from the Institute of Computer Science at the University of Würzburg.
