On April 20–21, 2026, the 25th sambaXP will take place in Göttingen, Germany. For those working with Samba in production environments, sambaXP remains the place where development, operations, and architecture intersect.
Early Bird tickets are only available until the end of February.

Where Development and Deployment Meet
sambaXP is a technical working forum. Core developers, enterprise operators, integrators, and architects meet to examine protocol evolution, deployment realities, and architectural trade-offs.
Recent milestones, including advances in Active Directory integration, authentication, and modern transports such as SMB over QUIC, show how quickly infrastructure requirements are evolving. sambaXP provides the space to discuss what comes next, from protocol-level improvements to operational scalability.
Two Days of Technical Depth
Expect focused sessions on:
- SMB3 and protocol development
- Active Directory and identity integration
- Performance, scalability, and automation
- Governance and long-term sustainability
Immediately following the conference, the SMB3 IO Lab (April 22–23) offers a dedicated environment for interoperability testing and collaborative engineering.
Call for Presentations Open – Take your chance
The Call for Presentations is open, a few spots are still available. We welcome proposals that provide technical insight, real-world deployment experience, or forward-looking architectural perspectives.
If Samba is part of your infrastructure strategy, sambaXP 2026 is where the technical direction for the coming years is discussed in depth.
This sambaXP jubilee edition is once again organized by SerNet GmbH. Special thanks to our sponsors TranquilIT and Microsoft.
