Vibe On Your Terms
The 10-year celebration of the Pirate Skills community — an honest conversation, sharp talks, and the stories that built us, on the PIRATE Night stage in Cologne.
A PIRATE Night ticket is required to join us on site.
Skills are the only non-extractable dependency.
Tools get deprecated. Platforms get rate-limited. Capital dries up. The skill to build, ship, sell and adapt is the one layer of the stack no one can pull from under you — and it's what ten years of this community has quietly been building.
Run of show.
16:30 to 18:00, then into the open evening.

Open evening
The bar opens and PIRATE Night attendees join. We sail on together.
A PIRATE Night ticket is required
We don't run the ticketing — PIRATE does. It's €59.50 per person, including fees and taxes. Register your interest here, then grab your ticket to be there.
Never sail alone
The pirate way is to bring a builder. Come as a crew of two — it's more fun, you'll already know someone in the room, and that's how this community has always worked.
