What people always ask

Every contribution from admission is donated to a foundation supporting recovery in the areas of Valle del Cauca affected by the earthquake. We're still deciding which foundation, and we'll announce it here as soon as it's settled.

In Cali. The venue is being confirmed and we'll post it here as soon as it's locked in. The date is firm: Saturday, November 21, 2026.

Yes. Your ticket covers the whole event, and you can walk into whichever talk you want, space permitting. Each stage has 250 seats.

The space between the two stages where each community sets up to talk to people: one-on-one mentoring, micro-talks, and loose questions. It's the part of the day where you leave with contacts, not notes.

Through the call-for-speakers form: the link is on the home page, in Registration and in Speakers. We select 12 talks from among the eight organizing communities and anyone who wants to apply. The opening keynote is separate — that one's by invitation.

We've left a deliberately long hour and twenty minutes for lunch, with options near the venue. We do provide coffee, at check-in and during both breaks.

A badge, a swag bag with whatever the sponsors send, and eight communities you can keep showing up to for the rest of the year.

Chuspa is the bag we hand you at check-in. Champús is a cold drink made of lulo, pineapple, and corn, served during the afternoon break — it tastes better than it sounds. Chontaduro is the orange fruit eaten with salt and honey — if someone offers you one, take it.
