The prpl Summit 2026 will take place in Vienna from October 12–13, 2026, bringing together a global ecosystem of service providers, OEMs, silicon vendors, and software developers. The event spans two distinct programs: a Business Day at the historic Palais Auersperg and a members-only Technical Day dedicated to deep-dive engineering collaboration.

This year's Summit is themed Innovate. Scale. Deploy. – a throughline reflecting where the prpl ecosystem stands as its members move from open-source innovation toward operator-scale deployment. During the Business Day, attendees will experience innovative prpl-based demos from across the ecosystem and get an overview of the year's main achievements, while sessions on both days address the key topics facing the industry.
