Save the date: 2026-04-22 to 2026-04-25 LGM 2026 Nuremberg, Germany Hello everyone, we have a fixed venue and date for LGM 2026 in Nuremberg, Germany: Wednesday, April 22nd to Saturday, April 25th, 2026. The event will be hosted at Zollhof (

Zollhof - We make entrepreneurship happen

). We are now preparing the call for participation and the website, and will let you know about any updates. Here's a heads-up: this time of the year is super busy for everyone, hence, we plan to make a soft start of the communication (website, call for participation, etc.) and launch the visual design of the edition a bit later in the process. But for now, it's important that you start sharing the date and mark it in your calendars! Cheers, Lasse #LibreGraphicsMeeting #lgm #lgm26 #LGM26NBG

➔➔➔ Venue candidates for the Libre Graphics Meeting 2026 After the LGM 2025 in Nuremberg, we went home with a couple of "vague" proposals for hosting next year's LGM. Because of the short preparation period, Lasse was asked if he would agree to organize a second LGM in Nuremberg next year. He accepted to consider it. August 20th was the soft deadline for proposing a candidature and during the bi-weekly LGM online meetings, the only concrete proposal we had, was the one for a second LGM in Nuremberg. We are now asking the community to vote for this proposal, cheer for it, and/or raise your concerns:

The Keynote Will NOT Go Forward

The Keynote Will NOT Go Forward - Libre Graphics Meeting 2025 – RE:imagination, Nuremberg, Germany

Due to concerns from the LGM community, the planned keynote with Dr. Richard Stallman is cancelled. The announcement made many people angry and upset, and anger and division are not what LGM is about. Public debate was one of the factors that led to this decision. The discussion can be read here:
