curl up 2026 The annual curl users and developers meeting, curl up, takes place May 23-23 2026 in Prague, Czechia. We are in fact returning to the same city and the exact same venue as in 2025. We liked it so much! ## curl up This is a cozy and friendly event that normally attracts around 20-30 attendees. We gather in a room through a weekend and we talk curl. The agenda is usually setup with a number of talks through the two days, and each talk ends with a follow-up Q&A and discussion session. So no big conference thing, just a bunch of friends around a really large table. Over a weekend. Anyone is welcome to attend – for free – and everyone is encouraged to submit a talk proposal – anything that is curl and Internet transfer related goes. We make an effort to attract and lure the core curl developers and the most active contributors of recent years into the room. We do this by reimbursing their travel and hotel expenses. ## Agenda The agenda is a collaborative effort and we are going to work on putting it together from now all the way until the event, in order to make sure we make the best of the weekend and we get to talk to and listen to all the curl related topics we can think of! Help us improve the Agenda in the curl-up wiki: https://github.com/curl/curl-up/wiki/2026 ## Human to human Meeting up in the real world as opposed to doing video meetings helps us get to know each other better, allows us to socialize in ways we otherwise never can do and in the end it helps us work better together – which subsequently helps us write better code and produce better outcomes! It also helps us meet and welcome newcomers and casual contributors. Showing up at curl up is an awesome way to dive into the curl world wholeheartedly and in the deep end. ## Sponsor Needless to say this event costs money to run. We pay our top people to come, we pay for the venue and pay for food. We would love to have your company mentioned as top sponsor of the event or perhaps a social dinner on the Saturday? Get in touch and let’s get it done! ## Attend! Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend – at no cost. We only ask that you register in advance (the registration is not open yet). ## Video We always record all sessions on video and make them available after the fact. You can catch up on previous years’ curl up sessions on the curl website’s video section. We also live-stream all the sessions on curl up during both days. To be found on my twitch channel: curlhacker. ## Friendly Our events are friendly to everyone. We abide to the code of conduct and we never had anyone be even close to violating that, https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2026/02/26/curl-up-2026/
