TailscaleUp invites engineers, security practitioners, IT professionals, and builders to share how they are using Tailscale. We are looking for talks on deep dives and novel implementations centered on Tailscale. From enforcing Zero Trust principles at enterprise scale to reducing networking complexity within a bespoke setup—we want to hear about it.


You don’t need to be a professional speaker. It’s enough to have a clear story to tell, and even better if you have something concrete to show. Share your real-world experiences and lessons with the Tailscale community with technical deep dives, engaging case studies, walkthrough demos, or lightning talks.


Here are some topics we suggest, but you are not limited to:


  • Real-world deployments: Replacing network solutions with Tailscale, getting the most out of networking fundamentals with Tailscale, etc.
  • CI/CD: Using Tailscale in CI/CD pipelines, securing access during builds and deployments, securing managed runners, etc.
  • Zero Trust: Implementation with identity-aware access control, enforcing compliance and auditing, etc. 
  • AI: Optimizing AI usage with Aperture, enabling AI connectivity, etc.
  • Building on Tailscale: Building your entire product on top of Tailscale, enabling connectivity for IoT Edge products like robotics or autonomous vehicles, enabling connectivity for workloads and multicloud setups, etc.


We’re excited to learn from you, hear how you’re building with Tailscale, and help spread ideas to other Tailscale users.
