Workshops for HacktionLab Autumn 2026

The following is a list of ideas for workshops, talks or other activities for the forthcoming HacktionLab Autumn 2026 taking place in October in Nottingham, UK. The *Nerd gag* measures how technical and jargony the session might be, from "on tight" being accessible to all, to "ungagged" being no-holes-barred tech talk. In the middle there's "breathing room" and "rather loose".

Session times

In spite of any advance programming, which we try not to do, we generally work out the schedule during the event, though this may change for this one, in order to have some semblance of programming. Watch this space!

Nerd gag

How much technical background will people need to be able to follow the session? Nerd gag measures how technical and jargony the session might be, from "on tight" being accessible to all, to "ungagged" being no-holes-barred tech talk. In the middle there's "breathing room" and "rather loose".
