The terms of this site.

The Algorithmacy Conference is 28–31 October 2026 in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, convened by Roger Hunt and hosted by the Caribbean Emergence Institute. Algorithmacy Studio is a separate practice: an engineer learns an owner-run office and runs the agents around its chores.

Registering for the conference does not buy the Studio engagement. Sending a Studio inquiry does not register you for the conference. Cohorts, at cohorts.algorithmacy.org, is a separate program and is not covered by these terms.

The site describes the conference and the Studio offer. The hotel block and airport transfers are not published on this site yet. Speakers, the schedule, and the logistics page can be updated. Travel, visa, and venue notes are planning information. Check the current rules for your passport before you travel.

Do not misuse the forms, try to break the site, submit work you do not have the right to submit, or use the site to harass anyone.

Register Now opens a form hosted by Jotform. The conference pages do not take payment. Any fee is shown on that form before you pay. The hotel block and airport transfers are not published on this site yet. Until a fee is shown there, there is nothing to refund. If a fee is charged, the amount and the cancellation terms are on the registration form before you pay.

By submitting, you confirm that you have the right to submit the work and to name the authors. After you confirm the email link, the submission, including the contact email, is published as a public pull request. Reviews are public and signed. There is no anonymized stage.

You keep the copyright. You grant the conference the right to publish the abstract, the paper, and the review history under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. The conference treats the pull request timestamp as the priority record for that submission.

AI assistance is allowed. The conference reviews the quality of the work. You do not have to disclose that you used it, and you are not credited for avoiding it. Hallucinated citations and generic prose are reviewed as failures of the work.

The website code is under the MIT license in the repository. Other conference text in the repository, apart from author submissions, is under CC BY 4.0, as stated in LICENSE-CONTENT.

Algorithmacy offers Studio as a service for a small office or a home: a computer the client owns, a local model, and the daily jobs, maintained by an engineer. The offer is described on /studio. The first 10 home and office installs: free covers our labor for the installation and ongoing maintenance. It does not include the computer or equipment. You supply your own computer, or you buy it at the store price. Free maintenance for life is in exchange for your continued endorsement and testimonial. Restrictions apply. Free covers our setup and maintenance labor, not hardware or third-party bills, and free maintenance continues for as long as the endorsement stays up and within the agreed scope of jobs. If the endorsement comes down, or the work goes outside those jobs, the free maintenance stops. After that, the guide is $5,000 to set up and $1,000 a month while an engineer maintains the install. A given job can cost more or less. A different design or AI problem has no separate price on that page. The comparison figures on that page, such as the cost of tools, intake vendors, agencies, fractional engineers, or hiring, are taken from third-party prices and guides published in 2026 and linked on the page. They are not quotes, measurements, or a promise of savings.

The form will not send unless you agree to these terms and the privacy notice. Booking a call, sending the form, or emailing topanga@algorithmacy.org, is a request for a conversation. It does not create a contract, reserve a start date, or require either side to go ahead. It does not promise a result, a reply time, or that the install will perform in a particular way. The first 10 home and office installs have no charge for our labor to install or to maintain. Equipment and third-party bills are not included. Free maintenance for life is in exchange for continued endorsement and testimonial. Restrictions apply. Free covers setup and maintenance labor, not hardware or third-party bills, and it continues for as long as the endorsement stays up and within the agreed scope of jobs. After the first 10, payment happens only after the conversation, in the client portal, through Stripe: the setup amount and the monthly amount, in one checkout. After the day 30 check the monthly charge is month to month, and either side can stop with 30 days’ notice. Stopping ends the work. It does not create a bill for labor already covered at $0. If the endorsement comes down, or the work goes outside the agreed jobs, the free maintenance stops. What access the engineer needs, and which privacy or professional rules the office already follows, are agreed in writing before anything is connected. A dentist still does the clinical work. A lawyer still does the legal work. The engagement is not clinical advice and not legal advice. This site does not claim a security or compliance certification.

These Studio terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Questions about Studio: topanga@algorithmacy.org.

Links to Jotform, GitHub, LinkedIn, Cohorts, and sponsor sites leave this site. Their terms apply once you are there. Author submissions are the authors’ work. The conference does not adopt every claim in a paper by publishing the pull request.

The site is offered as it stands. As far as the law allows, the conference and Roger Hunt are not liable for travel or visa decisions you make from the logistics page, for work you submit, or for a Studio conversation that has not yet become an agreement. The conference parts of these terms are written for a conference hosted in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. The Studio terms above are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States.

If these terms change, the date at the top of the page changes with it. Conference questions: rhunt@bentley.edu. Studio questions: topanga@algorithmacy.org.
