Although I'm no longer a voting member of the Conference Committee, I speculate the process will be similar to 2025 and other previous years,

Do you have any reason or citations to believe that it will be one bidding process for the next 2 years, 2027 and 2028? I may be missing things, but I have not seen anything to indicate that will be the case. </div>

<div style="font-size: 11pt;" class="elementToProof">Dear Dennsi,<br>
Thank you for your question.<br>
<br>
Dear Vicky,<br>
Thank you for clarifying the schedule.<br>
<br>
Let me add a few details about FOSS4G 2026 in Hiroshima.<br>
The conference week will be August 30 – September 5, 2026:<br>
<br>
- Workshops: August 30–31<br>
- Main Conference: September 1–3<br>
- Code Sprint and Community Events: September 4–5<br>
<br>
Workshops will be held in a rented conference facility near Hiroshima Station.<br>
The main conference will take place at the Hiroshima International<br>
Conference Center,<br>
and the code sprint venue is still under discussion.<br>
<br>
By late August, the hottest season in Japan has passed,<br>
but Hiroshima will still be quite warm.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to meeting everyone in Auckland and then in Hiroshima!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Nobusuke<br>
