GStreamer Conference 2017
21-22 October 2017 · Prague, Czech Republic
The 8th GStreamer Conference will take place
on Saturday and Sunday 21-22 October 2017 at node5 in
Prague, Czech Republic.
This is just before the Embedded Linux Conference Europe (ELCE),
but not officially co-hosted with it and at a different venue in Prague.
Details
The GStreamer Conference is a conference for developers, decision-makers,
community members, industry partners, and anyone else interested in the
GStreamer multimedia framework or Open Source and cross-platform multimedia.
Call for Papers
The call for papers is now open and talk proposals can still be submitted.
We still accept submissions subject to slot availability.
The initial submission needs to be only a couple of sentences or paragraphs
describing the talk you want to give and the desired length of your talk
(please allow at least 5 minutes for questions at the end as well).
Talks can be on almost anything multimedia related, ranging from talks about
applications to challenges in the lower levels in the stack or hardware.
Talk slots will have one of the following durations: 20 minutes, 30 minutes,
or 45 minutes, including questions. We will only have a small number of
45-minute slots available, so please consider whether you could also make do
with 30 minutes before asking for a 45-minute slot.
We want to hear from you, what you are working on, what you are using
GStreamer for, what difficulties you have encountered and how you solved them,
what your plans are, what you like, what you dislike, how to improve things.
Please send all proposals to gstreamer-conference@lists.freedesktop.org.
Showcase or Lightning Talks
There will again be opportunities for short lightning talks for those who
do not wish to present a full talk, but just want to showcase something
they're working on, or present a problem or challenge they are facing or
have solved, and that they think might be interesting for others to hear
about.
Want to submit a ca. 5-minute mini-talk for our lightning talk/showcase event?
Simply send a quick mail to gstreamer-conference@lists.freedesktop.org above to reserve your slot (subject to availability).
There is no deadline for Lightning Talk submissions, slots will be
allocated on a first-come first-serve basis.
Social Event
There will again be a social event for registered attendees on Saturday
evening. Details to be confirmed at a later date.

Who should attend?
Anyone interested in open source cross-platform multimedia is encouraged
to join us at the GStreamer Conference 2017!
Whether you are a hobbyist or a student interested in the field of
multimedia, or working for a company 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 breakthroughs in and around
GStreamer. The talks will target both developers and managers.
Registration
Registration is now open and will stay open until the conference.
Sign up for the GStreamer Conference here
There will be separate registration options for both professionals and for students and hobbyists:
| Professional (Early Bird) |
200 EUR (ca. 235 USD) incl. lunch (early bird, until 15 Sept) |
| Professional (Regular) |
300 EUR (ca. 350 USD) incl. lunch (regular) |
| Student/hobbyist |
25 EUR (ca. 30 USD) incl. lunch |
The registration fee includes lunch at the venue on both conference days
as well as access to the social event on Saturday evening.
For those uncertain about whether to register as a professional or hobbyist,
the general rule is that if your company pays for you 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!
Concurrent conferences
There are a few other events taking place alongside or just before the
GStreamer Conference on October 21-22 this year, so if you are making
your way to Prague you might want to consider combining the GStreamer
Conference with some of the other events.
GStreamer hackfest
There will be a hackfest just before the conference, on Thursday and Friday
19-20 October 2017. The hackfest will be at the same venue as the conference:
Node5.
Please add yourself to the wiki page
if you plan on attending the hackfest, so we have an idea of the number of
people to expect. Mail Tim or Sebastian or pop onto the #gstreamer IRC channel if you
don't have editing permissions for the wiki.
Sponsorship Opportunities
The GStreamer Conference 2017 is only possible thanks to the financial support
from our sponsors.
For this year's sponsorship opportunities please refer to
the sponsor brief (PDF)
or get in touch with Tim-Philipp Müller.
City
This year's conference will take place in
Prague, the capital of the
Czech Republic and its biggest city.
Getting there
By air: Prague Václav Havel airport (PRG) provides regional
and international connections.
By train: Praha hl.n. (Praha hlavní nádraží) is Prague's
central station. Praha-Smíchov station is close to the venue/node5,
and international trains will often stop there as well.
Venue
The conference will take place at
node5
Radlická 50
Prague 5
Czech Republic
The venue is in the city centre close to the Anděl transport hub.
Hotels
There is no official conference hotel, but we have prepared a small list of
hotels for your convenience.
For those who are planning to also attend the Embedded Linux Conference Europe,
the Hilton Prague where ELCE takes place is within 20 minutes door-to-door
from the GStreamer Conference venue node5 (7 minutes by metro using line B
from Florenc to Anděl).
The following is just a small selection of hotels which may or may not be
suitable. Prague is a major city and tourist destination and as such has
many hotels and hostels in all price categories. The below is merely a small
selection, you can find more using the usual booking engines such as
booking.com, lastminute.com or airbnb.com. As always, it is advisable to book
your accommodation earlier rather than later.
The conference venue (node5) is in the
district Praha 5 not far from the transport hub and B line metro stop
Anděl. It should therefore be fairly easy reach by public transport or
taxi from all areas of the city and especially the city centre.
There is public transport in form of busses, trams and an underground metro.
The following hotels are located near the venue (node5) and the Anděl
transport hub, and had at least a couple of rooms left at the time of
writing, but there are many other hotels in the city which may be better
located or provide better value:
There are also many hotels on the other side of the river in the city centre
/ Old Town which are not far from a Line B metro stop or one of the tram lines
that pass through Anděl.
If you find any other places that might be worth mentioning here, please send
us a mail.

If you need an invitiation letter for visa purposes, please get in touch.
