FOSDEM 2026, Brussels, Belgium

Dates: January 31 – February 1, 2026

Location: Brussels, Belgium

FOSDEM is one of the most significant free and open-source software events in Europe, bringing together developers, maintainers, and contributors from across the open-source ecosystem.

A small team from the OpenSSL Corporation will attend FOSDEM Brussels 2026, including Tomáš Vávra , Hana Andersen and Daniela Kellnerová.

This year, OpenSSL Corporation will attend the conference without a dedicated booth. Our team will be present throughout the event, so if you see us around, feel free to say hello.

You can also schedule a meeting with us in advance via our online calendar.

We can shed more light on what we are working on, what the technical roadmap looks like and what is in the new release.
