Smart Country Convention is a three-day congress and expo with workshops and networking in Berlin, Germany. Calling itself “the leading event for the digital state and public services,” it is the largest of its kind in the country.

For the TYPO3 project, the event’s focus on the public sector, and the closely related topics of digitalization and digital sovereignty, makes it a great platform to promote some of TYPO3 CMS's core features and use cases. For the german government specifically, 2024’s launch of the TYPO3-based Government Site Builder (GSB) has the potential to take the country towards a new level of digital autonomy.

On the expo floor, TYPO3 will be present with a booth, manned with representatives from the TYPO3 Company and their partners.
