Git Merge 2017 will take place on February 2-3 in Brussels, offering a day of technical talks and user case studies, along with pre-conference workshops for Git users of all levels, with prior RSVP required due to limited space.

Proposals for talks are being accepted until November 21, with notifications sent by December 9, and the event emphasizes a welcoming atmosphere as outlined in its Code of Conduct. Sponsored by various partners, Git Merge tickets are priced at €99, with all proceeds going to the Software Freedom Conservancy, and include access to workshops, general sessions, and an after-party.
