GStreamer Conference 2025

We're thrilled to announce that the 13th GStreamer Conference is now confirmed to take place on Thursday and Friday 23-24 October 2025 in London, UK.

There will also be a multi-day GStreamer hackfest after the conference, on the weekend of the 25-26 October 2025, and possibly also on Monday 27 October 2025 (to be confirmed).

In addition, the Foundations of Open Media Standards and Software (FOMS) Workshop 2025 is expected to take place on Tuesday 28 October 2025, followed by Demuxed 2025, the conference for video devs! Also in London, of course.

Details

The GStreamer Conference is a conference for developers, community members, decision-makers, industry partners, researchers, students and anyone else interested in the GStreamer multimedia framework or Open Source and cross-platform multimedia.

Who should attend?

Anyone interested in open source cross-platform multimedia is encouraged to join us at the GStreamer Conference 2025!

Whether you are a hobbyist, app developer, researcher or student interested in the field of multimedia, or working for a company that is using or looking to use GStreamer in their products, this is the perfect event for you to network at and to learn more about the latest technological developments and project news, and to meet developers as well as the wider community.

Registration

There will be separate registration options for professionals, speakers and for students and hobbyists:

Professional (Early Bird)	£260 (ca. 300 EUR / 350 USD) for both days, incl. 20% VAT
Professional (Regular)	£300 (ca. 350 EUR / 405 USD) for both days, incl. 20% VAT
Professional (Corporate)	£600 (ca. 695 EUR / 810 USD) for both days, incl. 20% VAT
Speakers (for non-lightning talks)	Free (instructions will be sent by e-mail)

All tickets include lunch at the venue on both conference days as well as access to the evening social event.

Different tickets have different refund policies: All tickets are transferable or fully refundable in case of visa issues or if entry was denied at the border. Early Bird tickets are transferable, but not refundable. Regular Professional tickets are fully refundable until 22 September, and 50% refundable until 8 October, and non-refundable therafter. Corporate Professional tickets are fully refundable until 8 October, 80% refundable until 22 October, and non-refundable therafter.

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.
