Three days of TYPO3camp Munich: From sessions on site sets and TYPO3 certification to a freelancer support group. Why the community is the most valuable thing about TYPO3 and why you should be at the next camp.

The TYPO3camp Munich took place from September 12 to 14, 2025 - this time in the quiet community of Puchheim near Munich. As a longtime TYPO3 integrator and trainer, I was not only there as a participant, but also as a silver sponsor and was allowed to hold a workshop on Friday on the "Innovations for Integrators in TYPO3 13".

What makes a TYPO3camp special?

A TYPO3camp follows the barcamp principle: the topics are not fixed in advance, but are determined by the participants themselves in the morning. This "unconference" creates a unique atmosphere in which real exchange develops. Anyone can suggest topics - whether as a knowledge carrier or a seeker.

The mix of experienced developers, agencies and TYPO3 newcomers ensures exciting discussions and practical solutions. This is exactly what makes the community so valuable.

Highlights of my sessions

My joint session with Axel Hempelt on TYPO3 certification was particularly interesting. As members of the TYPO3 Education Committee, we wanted to create clarity: How to prepare for TYPO3 certifications? For example, many were not yet familiar with SkillDisplay, which is the best resource for all four TYPO3 certifications.

My freelancer self-help group also attracted interested participants. The exchange on business topics, which I usually organize in my online business round table, also works excellently offline.

My session on site sets, the PAGEVIEW object and the page-content dataProcessor in TYPO3 13 was technically exciting. These innovations make work much easier for integrators - less TypoScript, more clarity.

Learning from the community

Not only my own sessions were enriching. Lukas' accessibility session opened my eyes to aspects that are often overlooked by people who are not affected. In her session, Johanna showed the developer perspective on accessibility with concrete code examples.

The update discussion with Benjamin was particularly valuable: the exchange of experiences on automated updates and tools such as Renovate gave me new ideas for my own projects.

More than just technology

The TYPO3camp Munich was not only convincing from a technical point of view. The location in Puchheim was perfectly chosen, the catering deserves great praise and the atmosphere was relaxed and productive at the same time. From the warm-up on Friday evening to the social event on Saturday - real contacts are made here, not just LinkedIn connections.

Your next TYPO3camp

If you've never been to a TYPO3camp before: The next Munich camp will take place from September 11 to 13, 2026. The participation fees are ridiculously cheap compared to other training courses - and the learning effect is often greater than with expensive training courses.

You can find more TYPO3 events on the official event page. All upcoming camps, meetups and conferences are listed there.

Conclusion: Community makes the difference

The TYPO3camp Munich has once again shown why the TYPO3 community is so special. Here, people share their knowledge, help each other and develop better solutions together.

Without the organizers, sponsors and, above all, without all the participants, such an event would not be possible. Thank you to everyone who took part and made these three days something special.

Hopefully we'll see you at the next camp - virtually here on the blog or even better: in person on site.

[Translate to English:] Wolfgang Wagner, TYPO3 Experte und Trainer

Hi, I'm Wolfgang.

I have been working with TYPO3 since 2006. Not in theory, but in real projects with real deadlines. I've probably had the problems you're having three times already.

At some point, I started putting my knowledge into video courses. Not because I like being in front of the camera, but because I kept hearing the same questions over and over again. There are now hundreds of videos. Every single one was the result of a specific question from a specific project.

What makes me different from a YouTube tutorial: I not only know the solution, but also the context. Why something works. When it doesn't work. And which mistakes you can avoid because I've already made them.

As a member of the TYPO3 Education Committee, I make sure that the certification exams are kept up to date. What is tested there flows directly into my courses.
