Conferences/Summit 30
The XMPP Standards Foundation (XSF) will hold its 30th XMPP Summit in the two days preceding FOSDEM 2027 at 28 & 29 January 2027.
To participate in this (or any future summit) you need to sign-up below. Hence, please

To sign-up, we need the information or you can ask for an wiki account to add yourself below.
Introduction
The Summit is an annual two-day gathering where we discuss XMPP protocol development topics. It is a place for XMPP developers to meet each other, and make progress on current issues within the protocol and ecosystem. Discussions are often of a deeply technical nature, though we do try to separate these with lighter high-level topics too.
If this sounds like the right event for you, come and join us! It is open to all community members and participation is free of cost. As said we just ask that you register below, so we know how many people will attend and we can plan accordingly.
Not sure you would enjoy this event? That's okay, you might prefer to come along and meet us at FOSDEM instead! We will have people from many XMPP projects there, and we'd love to talk to you.
If you have any questions or concerns, just reach out!
