In addition to a full schedule of technical, social and policy talks, DebConf provides an opportunity for developers, contributors and other interested people to meet in person and work together more closely. It has taken place annually since 2000 in locations as varied as Canada, Finland and Mexico. DebConf8 starts on Sunday, 10 August 2008, and ends Saturday, 16 August 2008. The conference will be held in Mar Del Plata, Argentina. DebConf will be preceded by DebCamp, from Saturday, 2 August 2008, to Saturday, 9 August 2008.

DebianDay is a short conference aimed at Debian users, and others interested in learning more about free software.
