preFOSDEM MySQL Belgian Days 2026
We are excited to announce that the preFOSDEM MySQL Belgian Days 2026 will take place on Thursday, 29 January and Friday, 30 January 2026, in Brussels — just before FOSDEM 2026.
This two-day gathering brings together the MySQL community: developers, DBAs, engineers, tool-builders, and enthusiasts — offering a fantastic opportunity for knowledge sharing, networking, and collaboration. The event will feature two content tracks, community sessions, expert talks by MySQL engineers and contributors, the much-anticipated “RockStars Award”, and a chance to mingle over good food.
Why You Should Attend — or Speak!
Share your expertise — Are you working on an interesting MySQL project, tool, performance optimization, migration story, or scaling challenge? This is your chance to present.
Learn from experts — Meet core MySQL engineers and community veterans, and catch talks across a wide range of MySQL-related topics.
Community & networking — It’s a friendly, community-driven event. Expect to meet people who work on very different aspects of MySQL: development, operations, tooling, open source integrations, and more.
Two-day format + two tracks — More room for variety, deeper discussions, and better match between talk topics and audience interest.
Call for Sessions — Here’s How to Submit
We invite you to submit your session through the official CFP page: the call opened on 25 November 2025 and will close on 25 December 2025 (23:59 local, UTC+1).
Don’t forget to mention the duration of your session!
What to Do Next — Register & Spread the Word
Block the dates: 29–30 January 2026 in Brussels.
Submit your proposal before 25 December 2025.
Register to attend: HERE !!!
Help us spread the word — if you know other MySQL enthusiasts, developers or DBAs who might be interested: forward them the link, share on social media and community mailing lists, or invite them directly.
