These reservations are only guaranteed to be available until July 5th
End of Day, BUT there is free cancellation up to 72 hours before your
reservation starts. That means that if you book before July 5th, you
are able to cancel until August 3th (assuming you are coming on the
6th). Book now to get great deal, close to the venue; with the option
to cancel if anything changes.

We're so excited about the line up for this year's conference!
Featuring a variety of topics highlighting critical issues in the
FOSS world, we have 14 tracks with speakers ranging from veteran
academics, long-time FOSS community members, as well as first time
speakers!

Thanks to all the track organizers, speakers, and volunteers who have
put in so much effort to make this a reality. We're so excited to see
you at FOSSY, August 6-9 (in a little over a month)!
