About
GraphQL Day is a one-day community event hosted at FOST (Future of Software Technologies, think federation of conferences!).
It is an opportunity to connect with other API ecosystems, meet new and seasoned GraphQL users, educate about GraphQL, share best practices, and have fun!
The event is open to everyone — whether you run GraphQL in production or are evaluating it for your next project.

Why attend GraphQL Day?
Real-World Talks
Hear how teams actually use GraphQL — what worked, what didn't, and what they'd do differently.
Cross-Community
FOST brings together GraphQL, AsyncAPI, OpenAPI, and JSON Schema communities. Learn across boundaries.
Open Source
Meet library maintainers and core contributors. Ask questions, report bugs, discuss roadmaps.
Workshops
Hands-on sessions to try new tools and techniques with guidance from the people who build them.
Networking
A focused single-day format means everyone's in the same room. Easy to meet people.
Free for Speakers
All speakers get a free conference ticket. Submit a talk and share what you've learned.
Become a speaker
Any GraphQL topic is welcome: feedback from the trenches, introductions, technical deep-dives, workshops, lightning talks and more!
The FOST audience includes non-GraphQL experts from other communities (AsyncAPI, OpenAPI, JSON Schema, ...) as well as CTOs and business decision-makers. Submissions that address this diverse audience are especially appreciated.
All speakers will get a free conference ticket.
