The 2026 programme is live

The 2026 programme is live

Nine hundred and forty people submitted a talk this year. Four reviewers read every one of them, blind, against a single question: has this person actually done the thing they want to describe?

Sixty made it. They are spread across ten tracks and, for the first time, a policy stage that runs all three days rather than being squeezed into a Friday afternoon.

What changed this year

  • A third keynote stage, so nothing important clashes with anything else important
  • Workshops moved to ninety minutes after three years of people asking
  • Live captions in English, Arabic and German on every stage
The hardest part of programming a conference is saying no to good talks because they are the fourth one on the same subject.

The remaining forty-five sessions land in April, once the workshop rooms are allocated. If you already hold a pass, nothing is required from you — your account updates automatically.

Nine thousand seats. They go in waves.

Early-bird pricing closes when the first two thousand passes are gone — historically some time in May.
