BELGIAN MYSQL, MARIADB and friends COMMUNITY DINNER – FRIDAY 2 February 2024

This year, for the first time in like forever, MySQL, MariaDB and Friends, will not have a dedicated Devroom at FOSDEM. (snif) Luckily that did not prevent the MySQL team to still host the Belgian MySQL Days (formerly known as the pre-FOSDEM MySQL Days). And thus we still have the opportunity to bring the community together to socialize and exchange idea’s over a Belgian beer or a glass of wine.

We continue the by now well known tradition of dining together in style with members from all over the community, and invite you to the ICAB venue (the same location as where the Belgian MySQL days are being held).

Book your tickets now!!!

The listed ticket price includes a selection of Belgian Speciality Beers and food, which will be typical Belgian style.

If you have any dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free,…) please let us know ahead of time when buying the ticket as we need to inform the caterer who wil make the necessary accommodations for you.
