Part of the magic of GUADEC is going out to amazing dinners with your new and old friends; exploring the beautiful parts of somewhere new; and maybe even staying up to watch the sunrise.
This year is a little bit different – but there are still lots of ways to get to know each other, try out new things, and hopefully have a little fun.
All social events will take place in Track 1. Check your registration and attendee update emails for the link and access code.

Open Social or Workshop Time
Tracks 1 and 2 will be open for the remainder of July 28. We welcome attendees to use the rooms for social chats or workshops.
Social Hours
Every night after the evening social events, you can attend or host a Social Hour. Social hours are a time to get together around any topic you’re interested in. These will include a Tea Party, GNOME Beers, and a GLBTQ+ social time. We especially encourage Social Hours based on non-English languages. If you want to host a social hour, please sign up for an account on meet.gnome.org and add it to the wiki.
