Meridian 2026 opens in Lisbon with SDF ecosystem team members Justin Rice and Gemma Dobbs as MCs for the Doru stage. The two-day builder conference features three main venues: the Doru stage for technical content and SCF pitches, the Tejo stage for institutions and SDF partners, and the Stellar Collective for hands-on workshops. The conference theme is "made to move" with four primary actions: issue, move, deploy, and build. Key activities include the Stellar Project Throughput workshop (until 1pm, first-come-first-served), Braindates for intimate conversations about ecosystem topics, Meridian Pay (100 lumens for conference use), and the Stellar Hub booth with an interactive gallery. Welcome cocktails are scheduled for the outdoor terrace from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. The opening establishes the conference's focus on enabling builders to rapidly develop and deploy solutions on Stellar while connecting institutions and community partners.
