OSFC 2026 - Social Events

1. OSFC – Pre-Event

When? 📅 September 14, 2026

OSFC Pre-Event 🍻 – Already in Amsterdam?

Many attendees arrive a day early after a long journey, so we thought: why not meet up before the conference officially starts?

Join us for a relaxed evening at a bar, grab a drink and get to know fellow attendees, speakers and us from the orga team before the first conference day begin.

We'll ask for a rough headcount a few weeks before OSFC so we can plan accordingly.

See you at the bar :)

2. OSFC – Social Event

When? 📅 September 16, 2026

OSFC Social Event 🚤 – “Open Source Firmware Conference .. but on a Boat”

We’re in Amsterdam!! A canal cruise was simply the obvious choice.

Join us for an evening cruise through Amsterdam's historic waterways together with fellow OSFC attendees. Let’s take in the full Amsterdam charm and continue the conversations in a slightly more scenic setting.

See you on board :)
