PUG Challenge has been the premier global gathering for Progress OpenEdge professionals for more than 15 years. Each year, developers, architects, IT leaders, and partners come together to exchange ideas, sharpen their skills, and explore what’s next for OpenEdge.
In 2026, we’re bringing the community together once again for two powerful events.
Join us in 2026:
Two international locations. One powerful OpenEdge community.
Start the journey in Boston with in-depth workshops, technical breakouts, and valuable networking opportunities. Then continue the momentum in Amsterdam with three focused days of learning, collaboration, and community engagement in the heart of Europe.
What You’ll Experience
Hands-On Workshops
Practical sessions designed to help you solve real-world OpenEdge challenges and accelerate modernization initiatives.
Expert Breakout Sessions

Compliance with International Sanctions
In response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the US, UK and European Union, among several other countries, have imposed severe sanctions and export controls against Russia, and individuals and entities associated with the Russian government.
To ensure compliance with these sanctions, we will not be accepting registrations from delegates, presenters or sponsors for PUG Challenge (On-Site or Online) from Russia, Belarus, Crimea, the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Luhansk People’s Republic regions of Ukraine, which are the areas covered by the sanctions.
Thank you for your understanding.
