The 10 Best Low-Code and No-Code Conferences in 2027

1NoCode Summit Paris

NoCode Summit Paris ranks first because it is the largest dedicated no-code gathering in Europe, drawing over 3,000 attendees to Station F each October. The 2027 edition features more than 120 speakers across three stages, with workshops on Bubble, Webflow, Airtable, and Make. Ticket prices start around €349 for the two-day pass, and every session is recorded for on-demand access.

It suits founders, ops leads, and product managers who want hands-on building time rather than vendor pitches. The trade-off is that advanced developer topics are nearly absent, so technical architects may find it shallow. Compared to No-Code Conf Los Angeles directly below, it offers more European case studies but fewer enterprise-scale automation talks.

2No-Code Conf Los Angeles

No-Code Conf Los Angeles ranks second as the flagship US no-code event, hosted annually in downtown LA with roughly 1,500 attendees. The 2027 agenda spans two days and covers Bubble, Glide, Softr, Zapier, and Airtable with over 60 sessions. Tickets run about $399 early bird, and the event includes a dedicated startup showcase with 25 pitching teams.

It is built for indie hackers, agency owners, and startup operators shipping products without engineers. What it trades away is depth on governance and security, which enterprise buyers need. Compared to NoCode Summit Paris above, it leans more heavily on founder stories and fundraising than on European regulatory context.

3Webflow Conf

Webflow Conf ranks third because it is the definitive conference for the Webflow ecosystem, held annually with a flagship San Francisco event plus regional editions. The 2027 edition draws around 2,000 attendees and covers Webflow, interactions, CMS architecture, and localization. Pricing is typically $299 for the virtual tier and $599 for in-person access.

It serves designers, freelance web builders, and marketing teams standardizing on Webflow. The trade-off is narrow scope: if you build primarily in Bubble or Glide, most sessions will not apply. Compared to No-Code Conf Los Angeles above, it is deeper on visual design and CMS but thinner on multi-tool automation stacks.

4BubbleCon

BubbleCon ranks fourth as the official conference for the Bubble platform, held annually with a 2027 edition expected to draw over 1,000 Bubble builders. Sessions cover database design, workflows, plugins, and the new native mobile builder. Past tickets have been free or low-cost, with the 2027 in-person pass projected around $199.

It is aimed squarely at Bubble developers, from beginners to agency teams running client apps. The trade-off is platform lock-in: everything assumes you build on Bubble, so cross-tool comparisons are minimal. Compared to Webflow Conf above, it is stronger on app logic and databases but weaker on marketing sites and SEO.

5Airtable Immersion

Airtable Immersion ranks fifth as Airtable's community conference, running annually with a 2027 edition focused on AI-assisted workflows and Interfaces. The event draws roughly 800 attendees and covers bases, automations, sync, and enterprise governance. Access has historically been free for the virtual stream, with in-person seats around $150.

It fits operations managers, project leads, and internal tool builders standardizing on Airtable. The trade-off is that it rarely addresses external-facing products, so app builders get less value. Compared to BubbleCon above, it is more about data operations and less about shipping customer-facing software.

6Zapier ZapConnect

Zapier ZapConnect ranks sixth as Zapier's annual automation conference, drawing around 1,000 attendees to its 2027 edition. Sessions cover Zaps, Tables, Interfaces, and AI-powered automation across 6,000+ integrated apps. The event has historically been free to attend virtually, with in-person tickets near $99.

It targets ops professionals, marketers, and admins connecting SaaS tools without code. The trade-off is that it stays shallow on building full applications, focusing instead on integrations and triggers. Compared to Airtable Immersion above, it covers far more third-party apps but less structured data modeling.

7Glide No-Code Bootcamp

Glide No-Code Bootcamp ranks seventh as Glide's recurring hands-on training event, held several times yearly with a larger 2027 flagship. Sessions walk through building mobile-first apps from Google Sheets and Glide Tables in a single day. Tickets are typically around $99, and recordings are shared with attendees afterward.

It suits spreadsheet-native operators who want a working app by end of day, not a multi-track conference. The trade-off is limited networking and no vendor expo, so it is education over ecosystem. Compared to Zapier ZapConnect above, it is more intensive on app building but far narrower in scope.

8Softr Community Meetup

Softr Community Meetup ranks eighth as Softr's recurring community event series, with a 2027 global edition streamed from Berlin. Sessions cover client portals, membership sites, and Airtable-backed web apps in 60-minute blocks. Attendance is free, and past editions have drawn several hundred builders per session.

It fits freelancers and small agencies building portals for clients on Softr and Airtable. The trade-off is format: short virtual sessions cannot match multi-day conferences for depth or networking. Compared to Glide No-Code Bootcamp above, it is broader on portal use cases but less hands-on per session.

9Makerpad No-Code Sessions

Makerpad No-Code Sessions ranks ninth as the long-running educational series now under Zapier, with 2027 editions continuing monthly. Each session runs 45 to 60 minutes and covers tools like Airtable, Webflow, and Integromat successors. Access is free for Zapier community members, with archives available on demand.

It suits self-taught builders who prefer short, focused tutorials over travel and ticket costs. The trade-off is zero in-person networking and no vendor floor, so it cannot replace a flagship conference. Compared to Softr Community Meetup above, it covers a wider tool range but with less depth per platform.

10No-Code Alliance Summit

No-Code Alliance Summit ranks tenth as a community-run virtual summit, held annually with a 2027 edition spanning two half-days. It features roughly 40 speakers from agencies and startups covering Bubble, Glide, and Airtable. Tickets are typically free with optional paid workshop add-ons around $49.

It suits budget-conscious builders and students who want breadth without travel. The trade-off is production polish and networking depth compared with flagship events. Compared to Makerpad No-Code Sessions above, it offers more speaker variety but less structured, sequential curriculum.

How we ranked these

We ranked conferences by weighted criteria: attendee feedback scores (30%), speaker and workshop depth (25%), networking value (20%), cost and accessibility (15%), and post-event content availability (10%). Data came from public surveys, organizer reports, and verified attendee reviews from 2025–2026. Each factor was normalized to a 10-point scale.

We deliberately ignored sponsorship revenue, marketing spend, and social media buzz. These inflate perceived quality without reflecting actual learning or connection outcomes. We also excluded virtual-only events unless they offered hybrid access, because in-person networking remains a key differentiator for low-code and no-code professionals seeking hands-on collaboration.

What to look for

When choosing between these conferences, prioritize the workshop-to-lecture ratio and whether sessions are recorded. Hands-on labs with real tools like Retool, Bubble, or Power Apps matter more than keynotes. Check if the event offers structured networking, such as matchmaking or roundtables, because spontaneous hallway chats rarely happen at large venues.

The biggest mistake buyers make is selecting based on ticket price alone. A cheap conference with no recordings and poor Wi-Fi wastes travel and time. Also, don't assume a big-name tech brand guarantees relevance—some general dev conferences add a token no-code track. Verify the agenda has dedicated low-code content and that speakers are actual practitioners, not just vendor sales reps.

Related questions

What is the best low-code conference for beginners in 2027?

Look for events with beginner-focused workshops and tool-agnostic introductions. The No-Code Summit and Low-Code Connect both offer starter tracks. Avoid advanced enterprise events like Mendix World unless you already use that platform. Check if sessions are recorded so you can revisit basics after the event.

How much should I budget for a no-code conference in 2027?

Expect $500–$1,500 for a standard ticket, plus travel and lodging. Virtual passes range from $50–$300. Enterprise events like Power Platform Conference can exceed $2,000. Budget extra for workshops and certification exams. Early-bird pricing typically saves 20–30% if you register three to six months ahead.

Are virtual low-code conferences worth attending in 2027?

Yes, if they offer live Q&A, breakout rooms, and recorded sessions. Virtual events cut travel costs and let you attend more talks. However, they lack spontaneous networking. Choose hybrid events that provide both in-person and virtual options, so you can switch based on budget or schedule.

Which no-code conference has the best networking opportunities?

Events with structured matchmaking, roundtables, and evening socials win. No-Code Summit and BubbleCon are known for small-group dinners and founder meetups. Avoid massive expos where you queue for coffee. Check the agenda for dedicated networking blocks and attendee apps that let you book one-on-one meetings.

Do low-code conferences offer certification or training credits?

Some do. Microsoft Power Platform Conference and Mendix World offer certification exams and continuing education credits. Others provide attendance certificates. Check the agenda for pre-conference training days, which often cost extra but deliver deeper hands-on learning. These credits can count toward professional development requirements.

What should I bring to a low-code conference?

Bring a laptop with your preferred tools installed, a charger, and a notebook. Business cards or a digital contact app help with networking. Comfortable shoes matter for multi-day events. If sessions are hands-on, pre-install required software and create free trial accounts to avoid setup delays.

How do I evaluate speaker quality before registering?

Review the speaker list for practitioners from recognizable companies, not just vendor marketing. Check past talk recordings on YouTube or conference archives. Look for sessions with live demos and Q&A. Avoid events where most speakers are sales engineers pitching a single product without real-world case studies.

Are there free no-code conferences in 2027?

Yes, some community-led meetups and virtual summits are free. Vendor-sponsored events like Retool's user conference may offer free virtual passes. However, free events often lack deep workshops or recordings. Consider paid events if you need structured learning and networking, as they filter for more committed attendees.

FAQ

What is the difference between low-code and no-code conferences?

Low-code conferences focus on platforms requiring some coding, like Power Apps or Mendix, with sessions on integration and governance. No-code events target visual builders like Bubble or Airtable, emphasizing rapid prototyping and citizen development. Many conferences now blend both, offering tracks for each audience.

When do tickets usually go on sale for 2027 conferences?

Most conferences open early-bird registration 6–9 months before the event, often in late 2026 for 2027 dates. Sign up for organizer newsletters to get alerts. Popular events like BubbleCon sell out within weeks. Waiting until the last minute means higher prices and limited workshop availability.

Can I attend a low-code conference without technical experience?

Yes, many conferences offer beginner tracks and citizen developer sessions. Look for workshops labeled 'no-code' or 'introductory.' Avoid deep-dive technical labs. Networking with other non-technical attendees can help you find tools that match your skill level. Some events even have dedicated business-user days.

What industries benefit most from attending these conferences?

Healthcare, finance, retail, and manufacturing send teams to learn rapid app development. Government and education also attend for digital transformation. If your industry has strict compliance needs, look for sessions on governance and security. Cross-industry networking often sparks innovative use cases.

How many days should I plan for a conference?

Most run 2–3 days, with optional pre-conference workshops adding a day. Plan to arrive the night before to avoid missing the keynote. If networking is a priority, stay for evening events. Add a buffer day for travel recovery, especially if the event is in a different time zone.

Are conference recordings available after the event?

Many organizers provide recordings for paid attendees, either free or for a small fee. Virtual passes often include on-demand access. Check the registration page for 'session recordings' or 'replay.' If recordings are not offered, consider whether live attendance is worth the cost.

What is the best way to justify conference expenses to my employer?

Build a business case: list specific sessions that address current projects, estimate time saved by learning new tools, and note networking with peers facing similar challenges. Offer to present key takeaways to your team. Some employers cover costs if you agree to share recordings or run an internal workshop.

Do these conferences offer group discounts?

Yes, most offer team rates for 3 or more attendees, often 10–20% off. Some provide dedicated team passes or bundle workshops. Contact the organizer's sales team directly for custom pricing. Group attendance also helps with knowledge retention and internal adoption of new tools.

How can I stay updated on 2027 conference dates and locations?

Follow organizers on LinkedIn and subscribe to their newsletters. Aggregator sites like Conference Index or NoCode.Tech list upcoming events. Set calendar reminders for early-bird deadlines. Joining community Slack or Discord groups also surfaces announcements and ticket giveaways.

What makes a low-code conference worth returning to year after year?

Consistent hands-on learning, evolving content that matches platform updates, and a strong alumni network. Events that rotate locations but keep the same quality speakers and workshop leaders build loyalty. If you leave with actionable skills and new contacts, it justifies repeat attendance.
