The
Collaborative Modeling Unconference

ComoCamp 2027

Vienna
May 3rd-6th, 2027

What is Collaborative Modeling?

The essence of Collaborative Modeling lies in cooperation and knowledge sharing.

All participants bring in their different perspectives, expertise, and experiences.

This leads to a shared understanding of the problem, which helps to develop a shared software-related solution.

The goal is to achieve better and more innovative solutions through collaboration.

What is the ComoCamp?

ComoCamp is the annual gathering of modeling practitioners and visionaries.

We teach the status quo, and we explore the next innovations.

Our mission is to provide a home for the global Collaborative Modeling community.

    I just bought my ticket for ComoCamp, The Collaborative Modeling Unconference in 2024. I still have many great memories of this unconference in Vienna from last year, it certainly was among my professional / conference highlights of 2023. You should get your tickets as well because this one will sell out again for sure!

    I bought my ComoCamp ticket yesterday! Last year I had some Como FOMO, so I am very excited this is happening! This will be the first time I will visit an unconference. I am very curious what it will bring. Hopefully connecting with likeminded people and getting inspired 🙏🏻

    Bring your own questions, ideas and issues!

    The ComoCamp unconference is organized as a large open space. Join us in creating an engaging and dynamic experience where your voice truly matters! We believe that the heart of any open space event lies in the diverse perspectives and knowledge of its participants. That’s why we encourage everyone to bring their own topics to the table. Whether it’s a burning question, a fascinating idea, or a pressing issue, your input is invaluable in shaping the discussions and fostering meaningful interactions. By contributing your own topics, you help ensure that our open space is a reflection of the collective wisdom and interests of our community. So, come prepared to share, explore, and inspire as we come together to exchange ideas, learn from one another, and co-create a memorable experience.

    Location: Europahaus Wien

    The Europahaus Vienna provides a comfortable atmosphere for relaxed collaboration as well as concentrated work.
    We have direct access to the spacious park area and if the weather conditions allow for it, sessions can take place outside, too! 😊

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Any other questions than the ones listed here? Don’t hesitate to contact us!

    Yes! The large conference room in the basement is accessible via a long and flat steel ramp in the courtyard of the hotel or as an alternative via a stair lift suitable for wheelchairs, which you might prefer in very bad weather conditions. The house also has two sufficiently large elevators with which all other floors can be reached. Regarding the suitability of the hotel rooms for your specific needs, we ask you to contact the Europahaus hotel and clarify the details directly.

    After you have bought a ticket, we will ask you to choose your basic preference, ranging from a “classic diet”, which might include meat (without pork) to a “vegetarian” or “vegan” diet. On top you are asked to provide your special dietary requirements, which we will transmit to the kitchen, provided we have them four weeks before the event. Even though we cannot guarantee that we are able to deal with all your requirements, we promise to do our best.

    Our simple motto for the camp is “Be open, be honest, be respectful!”. If somebody violates these principles in a way that you as a participant find unacceptable for our host, our camp’s reputation or a successful event organization, please bring this to the attention of the organizers. The team will collectively decide whether a. a violation is occurring and whether b. the violating visitor is given a warning or is excluded from the event.

    Our 2026 sponsors ...

    The ComoCamp and its affordable ticket prices would not be possible without financial support. Thank you very much for making the camp fly!

    Our Team

    Since the original idea for the ComoCamp in early 2019, a team of true believers went through "pandemic" cancellations, but then we made it happen.
