Event Information

The FreeBSD Summit is an event held annually to bring the FreeBSD community together to learn, network, and drive FreeBSD use. Each year the event gathers FreeBSD users including: decision makers, software engineers, and individual contributors and users, to share best practices and successes in their use of FreeBSD. The FreeBSD Summit also provides the unique opportunity to discuss issues with the developer community in-person. 

Please note: With the Fall 2024 event, the name of the event is changing from “Vendor Summit” to “FreeBSD Summit” to better represent the audience for the event and set up for growth of the event in future years.

The Call for Proposals will be available soon, with registration opening in September.
