LIMITS-hubs at LIMITS 2026

LIMITS 2026 will be a virtual distributed workshop. We welcome the LIMITS community to self-organise local gatherings or “LIMITS-hubs” that encourage community building and sharing of infrastructure. Please email Oliver Bates (oliver@fractals.coop) if you wish to organise a LIMITS-hub. Or contact any of the already existing LIMITS-hubs if you would like to join or help co-organize. LIMITS-hubs will be posted below. Note: all hub participants shall register to the LIMITS workshop through the registration link when that appears on the LIMITS website.

If you want to host a hub, please send us the following information:

• HUB name
• Place (address an potentially something about the venue, is there a limited number of participation, registration information, etc)
• Contact person

We as organisers wish that the participants at LIMITS-hubs bring their own devices so that all can join in breakout groups through the workshop in order to build community over space and expand the network. We strongly encourage the LIMITS-hubs to organise community building activities before or after the LIMITS workshop schedule (depending on timezone) like coffee, lunch, dinner, or seminars. There will also be breaks during the workshop where the LIMITS-hubs participants can hang out with each other.

The Logistics

• LIMITS takes place on the 23rd, 24th, and 25th of June 2026, probably from 7:00 PDT/16:00 CEST until 11:00 PDT/20:00 CEST. It would be nice if your hub would be open during these hours, maybe half an hour earlier or later for people to settle in and chat.
• You will need one or two rooms for people to jointly follow the talks. Reasonably fast internet connectivity is essential. A big screen or data projector and conferencing-capable audio equipment would be great to have.
• LIMITS will feature many interactive discussion rounds that people can join individually. To join these breakout sessions, participants should bring their own devices (and headsets!) allowing us to build community over space and expand the network. As a hub organiser, it would help a lot if you provide extra space for these activities so that people can spread out a bit.
• If you have limited space, make sure that people register -- we are happy to add contact emails or registration forms to the website.
• We strongly encourage the LIMITS-hubs to organise community building activities before or after the LIMITS workshop schedule (depending on timezone) like coffee, lunch, dinner, or seminars. There will also be breaks during the workshop where the LIMITS-hubs participants can hang out with each other. Sometimes these breaks evolve into spontaneous raves :-)
