DevFest.cz 2026 FAQ — FAQ

DevFest.cz 2026 took place on 30 October 2026 at Uhelný Mlýn — a converted industrial mill in Libčice nad Vltavou, just outside Prague — fully in person. Registration opened at 8:00, the keynote started at 9:00, and the day ran through the closing lightning talks into the afterparty.

Registration and breakfast open at 08:00, kick-off is at 08:45, keynote at 09:00. The cloakroom for coats and bags is open until 19:30; after that, ask at the registration desk. From then on the talks run on two stages — Moonshine and Speakeasy — in 20- and 40-minute slots, with a lunch break around midday and a longer break in the afternoon. Lightning talks and closing remarks wrap up at 19:00, and the afterparty follows. The full timetable is on the agenda page; a slot or two may still shift.

Uhelný Mlýn is at Areál Šroubáren 860, 252 66 Libčice nad Vltavou — on the map it looks like a trip, in practice it is Prague's backyard: a direct train from the city centre gets you there in 25 minutes. Take the S4 toward Kralupy nad Vltavou from Praha-Bubny; trains leave about every 30 minutes — get off at Libčice nad Vltavou. From the station it is a 10-minute walk (about 0.7 km) to the venue. The whole route is on the getting there page.

Just the QR code from your ti.to ticket, on your phone or printed.

There is only a limited number of parking places, at the far end of the complex (follow the signs), and no EV chargers on site. Share a ride or take the train.

The last train from Libčice nad Vltavou to Prague leaves at 23:18, right after the afterparty ends at 23:00.

Fly to Prague (Václav Havel Airport, PRG) — the venue is just outside the city, not in another one. The Airport Express bus runs straight from the airport to Praha hlavní nádraží. Stay anywhere near Praha-Bubny or Holešovice and the venue is a single 25-minute S4 ride away on the day.

It's run by GUG.cz, z.s. — a Czech developer community. DevFest.cz is a volunteer-driven community event, now in its 11th edition.

All talks are in English.

Yes. Once the closing remarks are done at 19:00, the networking afterparty kicks off right at the venue and runs until 23:00.

Breakfast and the coffee breaks, with sweet and savoury snacks, are included in your ticket. Lunch and dinner can be bought on site from our catering partners.

The venue is heated, but an industrial hall can feel chilly when the weather turns cold, so bring a sweater or a hoodie. Totally optional: come in 1940s clothing or a costume. We'd love to see a few fedoras and trench coats in the crowd.

Yes. The network name and password are on the back of the badge you get at registration.

Yes, we take photos and film throughout the day. By entering the venue, you agree that this content may be published on our channels, for example in the event recap and to promote this and future editions. Don't want to be in the shot? Just tell the photographer or camera operator.

Yes. DevFest.cz is a community event and harassment of any kind is not allowed; if you are asked to stop, you stop. The short version, and who to talk to on the day, is on the Code of Conduct page.

This year's edition is styled as a film-noir case, and the case doesn't stay on the posters: there's a detective game running through the day for anyone who wants to play investigator, with prizes including a Prusa Core One+ 3D printer and long-term licences for popular dev tools. The game runs in the event app, so get the app before you arrive.

The lineup is live on the speakers page — developers, Google Developer Experts and researchers from across Europe and beyond, with a few more names still to land. Every talk, with its abstract and speakers, is on the agenda page, under the timetable.

AI agents, generative UI, cloud & backends, mobile & web (accessibility included), and the humans in tech — teams, trust, and the part that is not code. On the agenda the talks are grouped into three tracks: AI, Open Source and Humans.

Yes — every talk on the Moonshine and Speakeasy stages is recorded and published once the videos are processed. We'll announce them via the newsletter and our social channels.
