5th CERN Tape Archive Workshop (CTA 2026)

The 5th CERN Tape Archive Workshop (CTA 2026) will take place on 9-10 November 2026 at DESY, Hamburg, Germany.

This year will have an exciting programme of technical talks, as we announce the features coming up in the new major version of CTA (v6): gRPC Frontend, replacement of the objectstore with the PostgreSQL SchedulerDB, and many improvements to configuration, logging, monitoring, signal handling and more.

Registration and abstract submission is open at:

https://indico.desy.de/e/cta2026

The workshop will be in-person only (no remote participation option). Registration is free of charge.

If you would like to present a site report or technical talk, please submit an abstract.

We look forward to seeing you at CTA 2026!
