A key feature of Firebird Conf 2026 is the absence of abstract reports. Speakers who work daily with Firebird in industrial operation, ERP systems, and non-standard integrations will present an analysis of complex architectural solutions. This approach is especially valuable for companies using DBMS in high-load projects: participants will be able to adapt ready-made cases to their tasks and avoid typical errors.
The business program includes speeches by Rustam Rustamov, Deputy General Director of RED SOFT, and Alexey Kovyazin, Vice President of the Firebird Foundation. Special attention will be paid to the prospects of open source and the future of DBMS — this is important for businesses assessing long-term investments in technology.
The organizers focused on formats that enhance the practical benefits of the event. Key activities include:
- Vendor certification of RED Database administrators. Confirmation of competencies based on the results of training will help companies objectively assess the level of expertise of employees.
- Contest «Express DBMS Tuning». A competition to configure the DBMS for maximum performance in 30 minutes will allow you to practice your skills in conditions close to real business challenges.
- Official Firebird Foundation certification: Firebird DBA Basic exam. The exam in Russian will provide an opportunity to formalize expertise for business tasks.
The conference brings together specialists of different levels — from Firebird core architects to novice developers. This environment creates opportunities for direct dialogue with the creators and maintainers of the DBMS (participants will be able to ask questions about product development plans and discuss the integration of Firebird into corporate systems); exchange of experience between companies (analysis of cases will help identify effective solutions for similar tasks); as well as informal communication: a buffet from 18:20 to 21:00 and a DJ performance will be a continuation of business contacts in a relaxed atmosphere. Coffee breaks and lunch will provide an opportunity to discuss reports with colleagues and speakers throughout the day.
The event will be held on May 28, 2026 in the Montblanc Hall (2nd floor, Loft Hall, Leninskaya Sloboda St., 26, building 15, Avtozavodskaya metro station). Registration starts at 9:00.
Conference partners: Medicina IT, Hi-Square, Smart Delta Systems (SDS), iDSystems (IDSystems).
