Lead the Trend — COSCUP 2026 Early Bird CfP
Embracing the open-source spirit of release early, the Early Bird program allows the community to discover your ideas sooner and helps COSCUP build a stronger, more coherent program.
As the conference continues to grow each year while volunteer capacity becomes leaner, Early Bird submissions this year will be reviewed and announced together with the regular CfP. If you already have something you’re eager to share, make the most of the timeline by preparing and submitting early.
We look forward to seeing your discoveries and adventures in open-source spark conversations at COSCUP 2026.

Early Bird FAQ (What’s different this year)
Q1: If reviews are simultaneous, why Early Bird?
Early Bird benefits speakers who value quality and commitment, giving them more time to think and prepare. It also lets the community see proposals earlier, which helps shape discussions and program planning.
Q2: How is it different from the regular CfP?
Early Bird opens before participating communities are fully confirmed. Once they are finalized, the regular CfP will begin.
Q3: Will Early Bird speakers receive results earlier?
No. All submissions are reviewed together. However, announcements may be made earlier if the overall schedule allows.
Q4: Which track will accepted talks be assigned to?
Based on topic relevance and advisor recommendations, talks will be placed into appropriate community tracks. If a proposal is unique or no matching community joins this year, it will be hosted in a general COSCUP-organized track.
Q5: If I miss Early Bird, can I still submit? Will there be extensions?
Yes, the regular CfP will open right after Early Bird closes. There will be no extension this year, so please plan accordingly.
Q6: Can local Taiwanese speakers apply for Early Bird?
Absolutely. You are welcome to get a head start.

※有別以往的 Early Bird FAQ
Q1：同時審查，為什麼還有 Early Bird？
早鳥徵稿讓重視品質與承諾的講者能從容地構思與準備。 提案也能更早被社群看見，有助於大會展開後續的主題討論與籌備。
Q2：和常規徵稿有什麼不同？
在今年參與社群尚未完全確定之前，先行開放講者投稿；待社群議程軌確認後，隨即啟動常規徵稿。
Q3：講者會因為投稿 Early Bird 而提早知道結果嗎？
不會。所有稿件將同步審查，但不排除整體時程提前公告。
Q4：稿件會被安排到哪個議程軌？
大會將依據 Early Bird 投稿內容與顧問建議，安排至合適的社群議程軌。 若題材較為特殊，或當年度沒有相符的社群，則由 COSCUP 大會自辦議程軌收納。
Q5：錯過 Early Bird，今年還能投稿嗎？
Early Bird 截稿後，隨即啟動常規徵稿。確定今年不會加碼延長，請把握最終截止時間。
Q6：台灣在地講者可以參加早鳥投稿嗎？
當然可以，歡迎搶占先機。
