Why Attend
Two days away from the backlog to think, learn, and connect with people who care about the same problems you do.
Meet 400 developers, product engineers, and open-source contributors who are solving hard problems in production. Lunch, social events, and hallway track designed for serendipitous connections.
Two tracks of deep technical content — no fluff. Our program committee filters for talks with real production experience, benchmarks, and code you can take home.
You'll leave with 3–5 specific things to try on Monday. Every talk ends with concrete takeaways. We track this — 87% of past attendees report shipping something new within 30 days.
Go beyond slides. Day 2 includes a 90-minute hands-on workshop: deploy a full-stack app to the edge from scratch. Bring your laptop — seats are limited.
Speakers are practitioners — not consultants. Last year 4 of our speakers opened PRs to projects during the conference. The people who build the tools you use will be in the room.
We enforce a strict code of conduct. 30% of our speakers identify as members of underrepresented groups. We offer scholarship tickets, captioning on all talks, and a dedicated quiet room.

Every speaker at OpenSignal Summit has shipped what they're talking about. No theoretical frameworks — real systems, real lessons.
