Wednesday 18th: Real User Meeting

Like last year, the W3C RUM Community Group will meet in the Google Amsterdam offices from 12 to 3. This event is free, but registration is required.

Wednesday 18th: the pre-party

From 19:00 to midnight the official performance.sync() pre-conference meetup will take place in Desmet (same venue as last year), kindly sponsored by Mozilla.

The meetup is free, but registration is required. Also, the organisers are looking for presenters.

Thursday 19th and Friday 20th: the conference

The conference starts at 09:30 (doors open 08:30) and ends at 18:00, at which time we'll have drinks at the venue.

The talks and breaks schedule will resemble the 2025 one, though we’ll likely make some minor adjustments. We’ll post a full schedule somewhere in October.

Performance Help Desk

During the breaks you can get answers to your web performance questions at the Performance Help Desk, sponsored by Google. The help desk will be staffed throughout the conference by members of Google's performance team and other experts from the performance community.

Saturday 21st: the post-party

On Saturday from 10am - 4pm there will be an informal post-conference hang, kindly sponsored by Framer, where you can tiredly chat with fellow attendees while waiting for your flight.

This meetup is also free, but registration is required. It is restricted to conference attendees.
