Dark Prague 2026 is a three-day international conference on decentralized futures & the anatomy of control, taking place on October 2-4 at Old Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The second edition of the next chapter, a successor to the Hackers Congress Paralelní Polis core, now fed by the roots of life, the edge of science, and the code of exile.
Technology is terrain. Biology is leverage. Networks carry power.
This is where systems are examined to understand how control is built, maintained, and resisted. Not to admire them, but to learn how they can be altered, rerouted, or abandoned.
Between freedom and capture, new forms take root. Thinkers, builders, and breakers operating without permission.
This is not a conference. This is a gathering rooted in autonomy.
Old Wastewater Treatment Plant, Dark Prague’s new venue is the last fully preserved first-generation wastewater treatment facility in the world, built in 1906. Art Nouveau industrial architecture with original machinery intact. On the UNESCO Tentative List. A venue as radical as the ideas discussed within.
After 12 hours of talks, workshops and debates, the event will switch frequencies with HIGH LIGHTS, the official Saturday night rave of DARK Prague. A curated lineup of DJs, industrial surroundings, and one more reason to stay awake.
