SITCON 2026
Inspired the founding of SITCON x HK in Hong Kong and the Student Open Source Conference in Chongqing, and provides support to student groups and IT communities worldwide. More than half of the participants each year are first-time attendees. Alumni now work across the IT industry in Taiwan, the United States, Japan, and the Netherlands, and many continue to return and support the community.
Continuously co-hosting meetups with local communities across Taiwan, providing channels for students to exchange knowledge. These events have also partnered with universities such as National Taiwan University and Tamkang University, bringing together outstanding talents from the IT field.
Since 2014, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, we have regularly held Hour of Code events across Taiwan, sparking curiosity about the IT field among hundreds of children and students aged 4 to 16.
We held HackGen in 2014 and 2015, and in 2024 upgraded the event into the SITCON Hackathon. We hope participants can learn ideation, planning, and implementation through the hackathon, helping society and businesses discover student teams with strong potential.
Since 2014, SITCON has held a summer camp every July, helping students interested in IT get started and igniting their passion for open source. Both campers and volunteers are students. In addition to the main curriculum, there are open source talks, a community expo, and a World Café, giving students opportunities not only to learn, but also to exchange ideas and spark inspiration.
