For virtual presenters, uploading the pre-recorded presentation is required in any case, providing a backup should technical or connectivity problems occur during the live session.

What about Rome's weather?

The latest forecast still points to warm late-summer weather, with daytime temperatures around 29-30°C and evenings around 16-17°C. However, the forecast has changed somewhat since the earlier outlook: there is now a possibility of morning showers on Sunday, while Monday currently looks brighter; Tuesday should remain warm, with some possibility of a local afternoon shower. So: pack for warm Rome weather, but bringing a small umbrella is now a good idea! We will keep checking the forecast and update you as we get closer. T−5. The countdown continues! We hope you are as excited as we are. Tomorrow we will be back with more news and practical tips to help you make the most of NODYCON 2026 and your time in Rome. Warmest regards, Walter Lacarbonara & Bala Balachandran Co-Chairs, NODYCON 2026
