Schedule

The FreeBSD developer summit takes place on the 19th and 20th of March 2026 on the same days as the AsiaBSDCon tutorials.
Many developers will arrive on the night of the 20th and meet for dinner and drinks before things kick off.
Most developers will stay on through AsiaBSDCon to give and attend talks. It is an excellent conference -- a good FreeBSD developer showing has countless benefits, not least the opportunity to tell the world what we're doing.
