FOSDEM 2027 Call for Main Track talks

5 October 2026

Proposals for main track talks for FOSDEM 2027 can now be submitted!

FOSDEM offers open source and free software developers a place to meet, share ideas and collaborate. Renowned for being highly developer-oriented, the event brings together some 8000+ geeks from all over the world.

The twenty-seventh edition will take place on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st of January 2027 at the usual location, ULB Campus Solbosch in Brussels.

Main track presentations cover topics of interest to a significant part of our audience that do not fit into any of the usual developer rooms, perhaps because of the topic or the large size of the anticipated audience.

We’re looking for both highly technical talks, and also less technical insights into areas of interest to open source communities.

This year presentations are either 25 or 50 minutes long including audience questions.

Submission for talks in devrooms will open after devrooms are selected and announced.

The conference language is English. All content must relate to Free and Open Source Software. By participating in the event you agree to the publication of recordings, slides and other content provided under the same licence as all FOSDEM content (CC-BY). You also accept the FOSDEM Code of Conduct.

If you have questions or need help crafting a good submission, contact us at program@fosdem.org.

The deadline for submissions is 16th November.
