DOU Day Picnic 2026 returns to Kyiv on 5 September with a full day of talks, workshops and social programme running from 10:00 to 21:00. Organised by the DOU IT community, the event combines a conference-like main stage with informal networking across themed zones and an evening concert.
Planned attractions include a large stage with top speakers, a charity flea market run by IT professionals, thematic masterclasses, dedicated children’s and pet zones, interactive games, prize draws, photo zones, a large food court and an open-air cinema. Tickets are sold as donations; the page lists general entry from 1,000 UAH with a 500 UAH option for students. The organisers say 100% of ticket funds will be transferred to their fundraising for VAMPIRE bombers for "Khartiya." Tickets are limited and available on the event site; check the official listing for final programme and ticket details.
