The first day of FediCon 2026 is tomorrow — Friday August 7th.
🚨 BIG NEWS: FediCon 2026 is heading to FOSSY! 🚨
We are joining forces with the Free and Open Source Software Yearly (FOSSY) this summer.
📅 When: August 6th–9th, 2026
📍 Where: UBC campus in Vancouver, BC, Canada
Save the dates! 🚀🌐✨
Organizers Log:
I have been looking for a new location for FediCon 2026.
The location we used for FediCon 2025 is very nice — but also very expensive. (I paid for it out of my own pocket.)
I am trying to find a new location that is either less expensive or, if possible, free.
I'd like to try to keep the ticket prices low. And, one of the biggest things that goes into the ticket price is the cost of the location
Day 1 of FediCon.
Organizers Log:
I just talked to someone at SFU (Simon Fraser University) about trying to find a location for FediCon 2026.
He is a friend-of-a-friend.
We talked about what we would need for FediCon, in terms of a location, etc.
He needs to ask around (internally at SFU).
Hopefully, can get more details this or next week.
Organizers Log:
The person who I talked to at SFU (Simon Fraser University) about trying to find a location for FediCon 2026 suggested I talk to someone else at SFU about a location for FediCon 2026.
I did. They responded.
