Why come to Lisbon
Main stage keynotes, a hands-on craft track, and a systems track running in parallel. Move freely; nothing is gated.
Long breaks, a real lunch, and a floor plan designed so the conversation you came for actually happens.
Every talk is recorded and yours to keep. Workshop files, slides, and starter repos ship the week after.
Eighteen hundred designers and engineers who ship. The kind of peers who answer the question you have been sitting on.
The lineup
A first look at the 2026 program. The full schedule, lightning talks, and workshop leads land closer to the doors.
