@russss If only there was a conference for conference organizers; we could call it #confconf! ;)
But in all seriousness, more conferences are starting to steal our #FOSDEM devroom concept and it's working really well for them; e.g. #IndiaFOSS did so quite successfully last year. Never been at #emf #emfcamp so I don't know the programme and space availability, of course.

With my #FOSDEM, #ConfConf, and many other hats on:
We will be organizing another https://ConfConf.org ! An (un)conference about organizing conferences.
6th and 7th of June in #Sofia, #Bulgaria
Same as last year, we will be focusing on #OpenSource and #Community conferences. We will either remain invite -only or closely review all registrations to make sure it's community people.

Just wrapped up a very productive weekend at https://confconf.org in Sofia! 🙌
It was an invaluable opportunity to meet and discuss with other community oss organizers. Very grateful to organizers and attendees for creating this space to share 🤗
Home from #confconf and a weekend full of great ideas, great food and great people!
Now the more interesting, and hopefully even more rewarding, work starts with implementing the good ideas into #fossnorth
Some more impressions from #confconf.
We spent two intense days of talking about how to organize conferences, found several tools others want to start adopting, and built many connections across the world.
Everyone who attended loved it and we're certain to have another in 2026. Likely in the EU or Asia. We have several hosting offers, including Seoul, Hanoi, and India
We certainly need to move continents to keep the audience fresh, but we have not decided for next time yet. Opinions welcome
