GStreamer Conference 2024 in Montréal, Canada

News and Announcements
1

The GStreamer project is thrilled to announce that the 2024 GStreamer Conference will take place on Monday and Tuesday 7-8 October 2024 at the Concordia University Conference Centre in Montréal, Canada. The conference will be followed by a 2-day hackfest on Wednesday and Thursday 9-10 October 2024.

New this year: The GStreamer Conference & Hackfest will be co-located with XDC 2024, the event for developers working on all things Open graphics (Linux kernel, Mesa, DRM, Wayland, X11, etc.), which will be running from October 9 to 11. Join us for a freedesktop week in Montréal!

You can find more details about the conference on the GStreamer Conference 2024 web page.

Registration & Call for Proposals will be opening soon, stay tuned!

We will announce those and any further updates on the GStreamer announce mailing list, the website, on Twitter and on Mastodon.

Talk slots will be available in varying durations from 20 minutes up to 45 minutes. Whatever you’re doing or planning to do with GStreamer, we’d like to hear from you!

We also plan to have sessions with short lightning talks / demos / showcase talks for those who just want to show what they’ve been working on or do a mini-talk instead of a full-length talk. Lightning talk slots will be allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis, so make sure to reserve your slot if you plan on giving a lightning talk.

Interested in sponsoring? A Sponsorship Brief is being prepared and will be available shortly.

We hope to see you in Montréal!

Please spread the word.

GStreamer Conference 2024 - Call for Presentations

The call for presentations is now open for talk proposals and lightning talks.

Please submit your talk now!

The initial submission needs to be only a couple of sentences or paragraphs describing the talk you want to give and the desired length of your talk.

Please allow at least 5 minutes for questions at the end as well.

You will still be able to edit and refine your talk proposal after the initial submission, so there’s no need to hold off until the last minute to get it perfect.

The talk submission deadline is Monday, 2 September 2024 23:59h!

Lightning talks can be submitted until the day of the conference.

Talks can be on almost anything multimedia related, ranging from talks about applications to challenges in the lower levels in the stack or hardware.

You can request a slot for one of the following durations:

  • 5 minutes (Lightning Talks)
  • 20 minutes
  • 30 minutes
  • 40 minutes
    including questions.

We want to hear from you, what you are working on, what you are using GStreamer for, what difficulties you have encountered and how you solved them, what your plans are, what you like, what you dislike, how to improve things!

Please submit all proposals through the GStreamer Conference 2024 Talk Submission Portal.

You can log in using your existing freedesktop.org GitLab account if you have one, or register a new account with the system.

Note: if you try to register in Indico with a gmail address and your verification e-mail doesn’t come through, please try using a different e-mail address/domain. This is a known problem unfortunately and outside of our control. Trying to log in via gitlab may also not work the first time, but should work eventually if you re-try a few times.

Showcase or Lightning Talks

There will again be opportunities for short lightning talks for those who do not wish to present a full talk, but just want to showcase something they’re working on, or present a problem or challenge they are facing or have solved, and that they think might be interesting for others to hear about.

Want to submit a ca. 5-minute mini-talk for our lightning talk/showcase event?

Please submit all lightning talks through the GStreamer Conference 2024 Talk Submission Portal.

You can log in using your existing freedesktop.org GitLab account if you have one, or register a new account with the system.

Note: if you try to register in Indico with a gmail address and your verification e-mail doesn’t come through, please try using a different e-mail address/domain. This is a known problem unfortunately and outside of our control. Trying to log in via gitlab may also not work the first time, but should work eventually if you re-try a few times.

There is no deadline for Lightning Talk submissions, slots will be allocated on a first-come first-serve basis.

Ticket Type Price
Professional (Regular) 375 CAD (ca. 250 EUR / 280 USD) + ca. 17.5% in fees + taxes (variable)

All tickets include access to the social event on Monday evening.

For those uncertain about whether to register as a professional or hobbyist, the general rule is that if your company pays for your travel or sponsors you, you are a professional, and if you personally pay you are a student or hobbyist. If in doubt drop us a mail or just register as hobbyist. The important thing is that you’ll make it to the conference!

Speakers: You will receive free registration! Details will be sent out by e-mail along with the talk acceptance notifications or shortly thereafter. Not that we will complain if you decide to buy a ticket of course.

Note for Quebec entities: Please make sure to enter your QST number on the order form to avoid being charged sales tax, as Eventbrite won’t be able to issue a proper tax receipt for any sales tax charged later.
