# OTel Unplugged EU at FOSDEM 2027 Site [llms.txt](/llms.txt) --- ![OTel Unplugged logo](otel-unplugged-eu-2027.png) ## OpenTelemetry is returning to FOSDEM! After this year's resounding success of [OTel Unplugged at FOSDEM 2026](/blog/2025/otel-unplugged-fosdem), we're excited to announce that [OTel Unplugged][] will be returning to FOSDEM in 2027!! ## What is OTel Unplugged? OTel Unplugged is an OpenTelemetry [unconference][] and project roadmapping session. An unconference is like a conference, only instead of a speaker track, we have a series of breakout sessions where attendees get to pick the topics. If you are an end user, this is a great opportunity to connect with maintainers and other users to get your questions answered and give feedback to the project. If you are a maintainer or contributor, the is your chance to connect with your users face to face! With everything fresh in our minds from the breakout sessions, we will end with a project roadmapping session. This is an opportunity to give suggestions and vote in order to communicate what your priorities are for this next year. ## When and where is it happening? OTel Unplugged will be happening on Monday, February 1st, 2027 -- the day after [FOSDEM](https://fosdem.org/2027/). The event will be held in the lovely Sparks meeting hall located in central Brussels. ## Where can I register?
