+
+To ensure we are prepared with enough space and food, [**please RSVP as soon as possible**](https://luma.com/d0psfopk) and remember to return to update the registration if your plans change.
+
+We are posting this early so you can plan your trip while we finalize the schedule and agenda. Check back here for updates in the coming weeks. We are planning to host a mix of short workshops, talks, open-ended design discussions, socializing, and show-and-tell demos (including a hands-on sneak peek of the upcoming desktop app). [Get in touch](/contact) if you would like to present a talk or demo of how you've been using Graphite. Likely ranging from ~16:00 until 22:00, the schedule will be broken into both afternoon and evening sessions to accommodate options for earlier availability and later arrivals, with more "unconference" style plans in the afternoon and structured "meetup" style events in the evening. You are invited to attend all sessions or drop in for the later parts as your schedule and travel plans allow.
+
+In attendance will be:
+
+- Keavon Chambers, Graphite founder, designer, and project lead
+- Dennis Kobert, technical lead and core maintainer
+- Timon Schelling, developer of the Graphite desktop app
+- Sebastian Sydow, contributor to Graphite's GPU infrastructure and <a href="https://rust-gpu.github.io/" target="_blank">Rust GPU</a> maintainer
+
+We look forward to seeing you there.
