The 10th International Workshop on Crowd-Based Requirements Engineering (CrowdRE'26)

Program

CrowdRE'26 is co-located with the RE 2026 conference. The workshop intends to promote lively discussions among participants from both industry and academia.

Workshop Format

CrowdRE'26 is intended as a one-day workshop held before the RE'26 main conference. This celebratory tenth edition will feature:

• Keynote session — Invited keynote speakers will present on topics relevant to the history and future of CrowdRE
