The OSG Consortium, the HTCondor team, and the Center for High Throughput Computing (CHTC) will be hosting its fourth annual Throughput Computing Week 2026 (HTC26) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Fluno Center. 

This will primarily be an in-person event, but remote participation is also offered. Most speakers will be presenting in person. 

Note: This year, unlike in previous years, HTC26 will begin on a Tuesday (June 9th).

Registration

Registration is now open and is required for attendees, even if you plan to attend remotely only. Registration for in-person attendance will cost $125 per day; there is no fee for registration for virtual attendance.

In-Person Attendance

In-person registration is $125 per day and includes a full lunch buffet and a light breakfast, snacks and coffee and drinks at the breaks. With in-person registration, you can attend plenary and non-plenary sessions, mingle with colleagues, and have planned or ad hoc meetings. 

In addition, recreational and evening events are planned throughout the week, including a social gathering on the Memorial Union Terrace.

Plenary presentations (only) will be broadcast via Zoom. There is no registration fee for remote attendance. 

Event Details

HTC26 gives OSPool or HTCondor users, contributors, and collaborators the chance to exchange ideas and experiences, to learn about the latest services and research, and to experience live demos. Current or potential consumers or providers of distributed high throughput computing, HTCondor or Pelican users or administrators are welcome to attend.

Following the success of the last two years, CC* (current or future) campuses and administrators can attend dedicated break out sessions on <DAY> of the event, in addition to the plenary sessions on <DAY> morning. 

HTC26 will include presentations from researchers and administrators who use OSG services,  HTCondor or Pelican. Leadership will discuss the current state and future plans for these services. Tutorials across the services will be offered.
