The agenda for CamundaCon 2023 just dropped! Make sure to buy your ticket now to hear about process modeling of smart contracts with Walmart, how Zurich Group Germany used BDD to cut their change lead time for BPA in half, and more. Join us in New York City or online. Save your seat.

Yesterday, we announced the decision to close the Camunda 8 Slack workspace (effective September 15, 2023) and direct conversations to the Camunda forum.

We recently enabled real-time chat in the forum to ensure members can still connect 1:1 in a group setting, and our team will continue to actively participate to ensure all of your questions are addressed. 

By consolidating resources to the Camunda forum, we hope to elevate your experience and make it more cohesive.
