Tickets are now on sale for Git Merge 2026!

To purchase tickets, you can visit the conference website at:

    https://git-merge.com

Tickets are available for $99 USD, with an option to attend the JJ day exclusively ($49 USD) or in conjunction with the main conference ($129 USD).

If you are a Git or JJ contributor, please e-mail me off-list for a discount code that will allow you to attend for free. For Git contributors specifically, this option will also allow you to register for the Contributor's Summit, held on the 18th. If you aren't sure if you qualify, please reach out and ask!

Purchase of a ticket (excluding the "JJ day only" option) grants you access to both days of the main conference, including food/drinks/beer, as well as the after-party.

As a reminder[1], the details for the main event are as follows:

    When: September 17-18th, 2026
    Where: Suspenso, Lisbon, Portugal (https://suspenso.pt/)
    What: Talks on the 17th, everything else on the 18th

(The JJ day will be held on September 16th, 2026, at the same location.)

The call for proposals (CFP) is now open, and we're using the same CFP submission form for both JJ-specific and Git Merge talks.

The CFP submission form can be found at:

    https://bit.ly/git-merge-2026-cfp

, and will be available until the CFP closes on June 30th. At that point, we'll go through the talk submissions and notify prospective speakers of the outcome.

As before, if you would like financial assistance with travel costs, please reach out to the Git PLC at <git@sfconservancy.org>. We will accept requests until May 15, 2026, and will inform applicants of the outcome shortly thereafter.

See you in Lisbon!

Thanks, Scott Chacon (GitButler) Taylor Blau (GitHub)
