Choose your own adventure through hands-on Temporal workshops. Build crash-proof applications with Durable Execution, or create production-ready GenAI agents, and explore versioning strategies for evolving Workflows and Workers in production.
HACKATHON ADD-ON
FREE
Kick off Replay 2026 with our annual Hackathon. This year’s hackathon is for experienced Temporal users to build new and exciting projects for Code Exchange, which we’ll celebrate by demoing to fellow conference-goers on the main event stage.
HACKATHON
09:00 AM - 05:00 PM
BUILD TOGETHER
This year’s hackathon is for experienced Temporal users to build new and exciting projects for the code exchange. Attendees will form teams, collaborate, and showcase their creations, fostering community and friendships while learning and growing as engineers. The event culminates in demos where attendees will deploy each other’s projects from the code exchange, with the demonstrator and the original team teaming up to present, and then these projects are celebrated by fellow conference-goers on the main event stage.
FULL-DAY WORKSHOPS
09:00 AM - 05:00 PM
BEGINNER TO BUILDER BOOTCAMP - GO
This workshop provides an accelerated journey for developers ready to build their first Temporal application. In this hands-on workshop you’ll gain a deeper understanding of Durable Execution, discover how Temporal delivers crash-proof execution, and learn how this relates to best practices for application developers.
This workshop expects no prior knowledge of Temporal and is appropriate for any experience level who wants to build a Temporal application. If you’re new to these concepts and want to get a head start, you can complete this tutorial prior to the Workshop. If you’d like a deeper dive into the basics, take our free Temporal 101: Introducing the Temporal Platform course.

Building durable AI Agents with Temporal + Versioning Temporal Workflows - Python
This full-day workshop covers two essential Temporal topics through hands-on exercises. In the morning you’ll build production-ready AI agents that seamlessly engage humans and can run for extended periods. We will explore both the use of Agent SDKs (i.e. OpenAI, Pydantic, etc.) and native Temporal implementations.
In the afternoon you’ll explore various versioning strategies for safely evolving Workflows and Workers in production, including deployment practices, Worker routing, and emergency remediation techniques.
HALF-DAY WORKSHOP
