Solid Events

Solid Events provide an opportunity to meet others who are working on Solid or are interested in Solid. Solid Events are run by people like you. If you are interested in coordinating a Solid Event near you, reach out to the Solid Manager at info@solidproject.org.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Solid Events are moving online for the foreseeable future. Join Solid World on the _second_ Thursday of every month at 1000 ET.
