AsyncAPI Conference San Jose 2026 in February

[derberg]

like in case of #2102

We will have AsyncAPI track and booth at DeveloperWeek in https://conference.asyncapi.com/venue/California: 18-20.02.2026

We will have:

• one full day of AsyncAPI-related talks (1 day)
• booth space throughout the whole event (3 days)

I'm creating this issue 3 months before the event as stated in travel expenses procedure: https://github.com/asyncapi/community/pulls

Possible travel sponsorship

We have enough money in budget to sponsor:

• travel of @thulieblack
• travel of one more, or two more community members depending of course where they will fly from. Travel procedure explain how much money we can offer to reimburse costs

Help needed

We need the help of people from below groups:
@asyncapi/ambassadors
@asyncapi/maintainers
@asyncapi/tsc_members
@asyncapi/governance-board

For sure @thulieblack will be there but this is a 3day long event, with one day of AsyncAPI conference and 3 days of API Standards booth - so we will need volunteers onsite to help.

Of course if your company sponsors your travel, it is even better. We will get you a free ticket to the conference, so do not worry about this part.

@derberg @fmvilas @thulieblack I am interested to take part as a volunteer for the onsite,

[derberg]

@AayushSaini101 do you have visa already?

No, i don't have visa currently but i can start the process from now

@AayushSaini101 Actually, I’m also planning to volunteer, but the problem is that the U.S. visa process takes quite a long time, and we need a buffer of around two months to accommodate other members in case our visa gets rejected.
That’s the reason it’s not feasible for us right now.

Thanks for this @princerajpoot20 : )
