Call for Hosts: ESUG 2028, 2029 and 2030
by Marcus Denker Oct. 5, 2026

Oct. 5, 2026

Dear Smalltalk enthusiasts, With ESUG 2027 in Brussels confirmed well ahead of time, we would like to keep up this new tradition of announcing each conference early. To make that possible, we are already looking for hosts for the coming years: - ESUG 2028 - ESUG 2029 - ESUG 2030 Since 1993, the ESUG conference has travelled across Europe, hosted by universities, companies and local Smalltalk groups. Each edition has been shaped by its local organizers, and many of our best memories come from discovering a new city together. Hosting ESUG means bringing the Smalltalk community to your place for about a week at the beginning of July: the isLoop Summer School, IWST and the ESUG conference itself. You provide the venue and local organization; the ESUG board supports you throughout, with experience from past editions, help with the program, registration and budget, and continuity from one year to the next. Knowing the hosts several years in advance lets us announce dates and venues early, gives attendees and sponsors time to plan, and makes things easier for everyone involved. If you, your university, your company or your local user group would be interested in hosting one of these editions, or if you would simply like to know more about what is involved, please get in touch with the ESUG board at esug-planning(a)esug.org We would be happy to hear from you by March 01, 2027, the earlier the better of course. We look forward to discovering where the Smalltalk community will meet in 2028, 2029 and 2030! Best regards, The ESUG Board
