PyTorch Day China 2026 is the premier gathering dedicated to open source AI and the impact of PyTorch Foundation projects. Scheduled for 12 December in China this community-driven event provides an unparalleled platform for PyTorch enthusiasts, machine learning engineers, AI researchers, and industry professionals.

Immerse yourself in a vibrant day of insightful technical talks and interactive discussions designed to foster knowledge exchange and collaboration about. PyTorch Day China is your gateway to connecting with leading experts and peers in the open source AI community, offering you unique opportunities to explore cutting-edge advancements in training, inference, responsible AI, and more.

The Academy Software Foundation (ASWF) Open Source Forum is an exclusive event for Foundation members and invited guests to share ideas, insights and experiences to drive the future of open source software across the motion picture and media industries. 

Open Source Forum 2027 will be held on February 18 in Los Angeles for 100+ business and technical leaders. The theme of the event is “New Technologies Impacting Studios.”

While Open Source Forum is a hybrid event, all speakers must plan to present in-person. For sessions with multiple speakers, you must have at least one speaker who will be presenting in-person. All presentations will be recorded and posted publicly after the event.  

We welcome talk submissions on any topic related to open-source software and new technologies for visual effects, animation, or digital content creation.

Talks should not be sales pitches or product promotions.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• AI and machine learning
• Virtual production and real-time
• New pipeline tools and technologies
• Computer graphics and imaging 
• Immersive films 

The CNCF Maintainer Summit is an exclusive event for the people behind our projects to gather face-to-face, collaborate, and celebrate the projects that make “Cloud Native”. Programming will be focused around sharing best practices, diving into contributing processes, and solving common problems across projects to enrich our great community of maintainers. 

To submit a proposal you must be one of the following:

• TOC Representative
• Graduated Project Maintainer or Org Member
• TAG Chair, Technical Lead or Working Group Lead
• Incubating Project Maintainer

Sessions may be submitted in one of the following categories (descriptions of each category are available here):

• Growing Contributors
• CI/CD/Distribution
• Main Track
• Project Meetings*

*Please note: Project Meetings will be listed on the schedule with the project name only, and meeting facilitator will not receive a speaker registration pass. 

The CFP is now only open for NEOCLOUDCON.

Building the Future of High Performance Software

Join us for the 2027 annual HPSF Conference, where developers and users of some of the most critical software projects in High Performance Computing (HPC) come together to shape the future. Hosted by the High Performance Software Foundation (HPSF), this event is dedicated to advancing community-driven, production-ready solutions for performance, portability, and productivity in a rapidly evolving HPC landscape.

With its focus on engineering and community building, the HPSF Conference is a unique opportunity to illuminate the emerging challenges of integrating AI usage and accelerated computing into the development processes for the software products HPC relies on. Together, we'll explore how open source collaboration and a unified foundation for high performance software can unlock new possibilities for addressing the most challenging science and engineering computing problems.

Learn what's new across HPSF projects, connect with the engineering communities building them, and help lead the charge in delivering high performance software.
