If you are simply an enthusiastic user or admin we regularly have booths at various conferences (FOSDEM, CLT, FrOSCon, …) that are a great opportunity to meet us, too. + +If we gained your attention, we will then hopefully see you at the XMPP Summit 27. Read on! + +### Time & Address + +The venue will take place at the Thon Hotel EU including coffee break (from 09:00 o'clock) and lunch (13:00 to 14:00 o'clock) paid by the XSF in the hotel restaurant. + +Date: Thursday 30th - Friday 31st, January 2025 +Time: 09:00 - 17:00 o'clock (CET) (both days) + +[Thon Hotel EU](https://www.thonhotels.com/de/hotels/belgien/brussel/thon-hotel-eu/) +Room: Germany +Wetstraat / Rue de la Loi 75 +1040 Brussels +[Openstreetmap](https://osm.org/go/0EoS9cWe0?layers=N&m=) + +Furthermore, the XSF will have its Summit Dinner on Thursday night which is paid for all participating XSF members. +Everyone else is of course invited to participate, however at their own expense. +Please reach out if you are participating as a non-member (see list below). + +### Participation + +**So that we can make final arrangements with the hotel, you must register before Wednesday 15th January 2025!** + +Please note that, although we welcome everyone to join, you must announce your attendance beforehand, as the venue is not publicly accessible. +If you're interested in attending, please make yourself known by filling out your details on the [wiki page for Summit 27](https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Conferences/Summit_27). +To edit the page, reach out to an XSF member to enter and update your details or you'll need a wiki account, which we'll happily provide for you. +Reach out via communication below listed. +When you sign-up please book the accomodation and your travel. +Please also unsign if you will not attend anymore. + +Please also consider signing up if you plan to: + +- present in the [Lightning talks or Show-and-Tell](https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Conferences/Summit_27#Show-and-tell) +- [remote participate](https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Conferences/Summit_27#Remote_Participation) + +### Communication + +To ensure you receive all the relevant information, updates and announcements about the event, make sure that you're signed up to the [Summit mailing list](https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/summit) and the [Summit chatroom](xmpp:summit@muc.xmpp.org?join) ([Webview](/chat#converse/room?jid=xsf@muc.xmpp.org)). + +Spread the word also via our communication channels such as [Mastodon](https://fosstodon.org/@xmpp) and [Twitter](https://twitter.com/xmpp). + +### Sponsors + +We would like to thank [Isode](https://www.isode.com/) for sponsoring the XMPP Summit again. + +We also would like to thank [Alexander Gnauck](https://xmppdotnet.org/) for sponsoring the XSF Dinner again. + +Also many thanks to [Daniel Gultsch](https://gultsch.de/) investing time and resources to help organising the event again! + +We appreciate support via sponsoring or even [XSF sponsorship](https://xmpp.org/community/sponsorship/) so that we can keep the event open and accessible for everyone.
