Confession time: every year, one of my favourite moments at WebExpo isn’t catching a killer talk or running into a speaker I’ve been fangirling over. It’s walking into the kids’ room.
The energy hits you the second you step in. Kids hunched over laptops, LEGO robots wobbling across tables, 3D printers humming away, and somewhere underneath all of it, laughter. Genuine, unscripted, infectious laughter. I’ve started calling WebExpo Kids attendees the happiest people at the conference, and I stand by it completely.
And here’s the part that gets me every time: I even know couples who met at WebExpo, started families, and now bring their kids to the very conference where it all began. Full circle. If that’s not a reason to keep building something worth coming back to, I honestly don’t know what is.
Every ticket is a family ticket
We live in a world where the tech stack keeps mutating and yesterday’s hot framework is tomorrow’s legacy code. Getting kids curious about technology, not just consuming it but constructing with it, matters more than ever. Not mindless screen time, but cultivating problem-solving muscles, critical thinking, and that relentless itch to tinker with how things actually work.
That’s why every WebExpo conference ticket includes free access for kids and a free parent ticket, covering WebExpo Kids, the Parents’ Coffee Lounge, and the Partner Zone in Lucerna Gallery. The parent ticket is valid for your partner, grandparents, or another guardian, and doesn’t include access to the talks. To claim yours, email info@webexpo.net.
You’ll squeeze every drop out of the conference program. Your child will accidentally become an innovator. Your partner will get a breather. Everybody wins.
No boring theory. Pure learning by doing.
Tech experts Jakub Balada and Tomáš Kapler will continue in the tradition and will lead the popular kids’ workshops.
Scratch programming (ages 6 and up): The ideal launchpad into coding, kids will architect their own animations and simple games using block programming.
LEGO BOOST & LEGO SPIKE (ages 5 and up): Kids will assemble a LEGO robot, wire up basic commands, and watch it move on their own terms. Creativity and problem-solving, packaged as pure play.
3D printing workshop (ages 9 and up): From sculpting a printable model to watching it materialise layer by layer. Adults, feel free to join your youngster, nobody’s judging.
AI creation factory (ages 8 and up): Kids will get to conjure images with generative AI tools, chat with AI assistants, and train their own machine learning model.
And what about the little ones?
For children ages 2 and up who aren’t quite ready for the workshops, we’ve set up a Kids’ Corner with toys and supervised by professional au pairs.
For babies under 2, the Parents’ Coffee Lounge is your base of operations: a comfortable spot to connect with other parents, complete with a changing table and all the essentials.
We’ve got your whole family covered
If both you and your partner want to attend the conference while your kids engineer their first robots, we have a deal for you. Buy one full-price ticket, email us at info@webexpo.net, and we’ll hand over a 50% discount on the second ticket so your partner can join the fun too.
We want your whole family to get the most out of WebExpo. Because the best conferences are the ones you don’t have to miss. 😉
