About


GOAT 2024 is back and will take place during the week of Sunday, November 3rd through Friday, November 8th at Paicines Ranch in Paicines, California. The beautiful Paicines Ranch is located about 60 miles south of San Jose, and we will arrange shuttles for folks to get to/from the venue. 

Since 2018, GOAT has brought together a diverse range of practitioners — including farmers, designers, agronomists, activists, and researchers — to advocate for more accessible software and hardware with full control going to the farmers, eaters, and everyday users. The gathering is mostly in the format of an “unconference,” where the majority of sessions are created and scheduled by the participants on-site when they first arrive. Topics can vary from software architecture and farming practices to algorithmic justice and climate resilience. Take a look on the forum under the #session tag for examples of past sessions.

The application for 2024’s gathering is LIVE and will be open until August 30th. Applicants will be notified by September 13th of their acceptance and will have until September 27th to register for the conference.

*please note that the general election is happening during the GOAT conference, we encourage everyone to make absentee or early voting plans!
