The three-day event covers secure software delivery, AI governance, DevGovOps, and platform engineering, with a focus on how AI code, models, and AI-generated content fit into secure delivery pipelines. The CFP closed on 18 May 2026. A Gala Dinner is scheduled for 21 October. Tickets are refundable until 15 July 2026. ## Why swampUP Europe exists Software supply chain security has expanded from a narrow concern to a central engineering discipline since high-profile attacks on build pipelines and package registries. The introduction of AI code generation and model delivery into those same pipelines has added new risk vectors. swampUP Europe provides a practitioner forum specifically for the engineering decisions at this intersection: how to govern, secure, and operate software delivery pipelines that now include AI-generated and AI-delivered components. ## Who attends swampUP Europe 2026 - Platform engineers and DevOps practitioners building and operating CI/CD pipelines - DevSecOps engineers responsible for securing software delivery from code to production - Security architects and application security specialists focused on supply chain integrity - AI engineers integrating AI code generation and model delivery into software development workflows - Engineering managers overseeing developer tooling, pipeline governance, and AI adoption ## What the swampUP Europe 2026 format includes - Three full days of sessions and workshops (20-22 October 2026) at the InterContinental Barcelona - Technical sessions on DevSecOps, AI governance, and software supply chain security - Gala Dinner on 21 October 2026 - Ticket refund policy: full refund available until 15 July 2026 ## What the swampUP Europe 2026 programme covers - Software supply chain security: dependency management, SBOM, and artifact integrity - AI governance in software delivery: AI code provenance, model supply chain, and policy enforcement - DevGovOps: governance frameworks for developer platforms and AI-assisted workflows - CI/CD pipeline security: securing build systems, registries, and deployment pipelines - Platform engineering: internal developer platforms, golden paths, and toolchain standardisation - AI in software development: integrating AI coding tools within governed delivery processes ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is swampUP? swampUP is JFrog's annual DevOps and DevSecOps conference series. The name references JFrog's frog mascot. The European edition runs in Barcelona; a separate US edition is typically held earlier in the year. ### What is DevGovOps? DevGovOps is a term JFrog uses to describe the integration of governance practices into DevOps workflows, particularly around AI code generation, model use, and policy enforcement in software delivery. It extends DevSecOps with a governance and compliance dimension for AI-assisted development. ### Is the CFP still open? No. The CFP closed on 18 May 2026. ### Who is swampUP Europe NOT designed for? - Data scientists or ML researchers without interest in software delivery or supply chain security - Business professionals seeking non-technical content on AI strategy or business applications - Developers focused exclusively on application-level programming without interest in platform or pipeline concerns - Attendees expecting a broad technology trade show rather than a focused practitioner conference ## The venue: InterContinental Barcelona The InterContinental Barcelona is a five-star hotel and conference venue located in the Eixample district of Barcelona, close to Passeig de Gracia. The hotel provides conference facilities, accommodation, and dining. Barcelona El Prat Airport (BCN) is approximately 25-35 minutes from the hotel by taxi or public transport (Aerobus). Barcelona is one of Europe's main conference cities with direct flights from across the continent. ## The organiser: JFrog JFrog is an Israeli-American software technology company best known for its Artifactory binary repository manager and its broader suite of DevOps and DevSecOps tools covering CI/CD, software supply chain, security scanning, and distribution. JFrog is listed on NASDAQ and operates globally. swampUP is its flagship practitioner conference series. --- ## Editorial take *swampUP Europe is one of the few European conferences that takes software supply chain security for AI seriously enough to build a dedicated three-day programme around it; the JFrog product focus is present but the content goes beyond product marketing into engineering practice.* ## How to register and what it costs Registration is open at swampup.jfrog.com/europe. Tickets are refundable until 15 July 2026. Ticket pricing is not publicly disclosed as of verification date. Check the official website for current pricing and any available discounts. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How do I get to the InterContinental Barcelona?
