Web Summit Vancouver - Call for interest

I just got my “Developer discount” email to attend Web Summit Vancouver, which is $149CAD for the full four days, May 11th - 14th.

I listed it in the 2026 events 2026 Events - ATProto, Open Social, Dev and More

My coworking space Z-Space will run a kind of open house for the week, and I’d love to plan ahead for a dedicated ATproto gathering that’s a bit bigger, with a handful of speakers and such.

Who is planing to come to Vancouver for this? Wants to help organize? Wants to speak?

Some ATProto startups might consider attending / having a booth, and doing other stuff would help promote.

A lot of Europeans came over last year, wonder if there is a #EuroSky play here – if they could get a speaking slot?

(yes, I understand we still need to ship ATmosphereConf first!)

Looks like apenwarr is in town and can give a talk on atlogin

@wesleyfinck.org you should plan to have something to demo for this, and I’d love some help in figuring this out.

Talked to @iame.li, he’ll come up and can present about Streamplace.

Uhhh…three speakers already :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
