EasyBuild is a software build and installation framework that allows you to manage (scientific) software on High Performance Computing (HPC) systems in an efficient way.

The EasyBuild User Meeting is an open and highly interactive event that provides a great opportunity to meet fellow EasyBuild enthusiasts, discuss related topics, and learn about new aspects of the tool.

It is intended for people that are already familiar with EasyBuild, ranging from occasional users to EasyBuild core developers, maintainers, and experts. Topics will be less introductory in nature than during other events like EasyBuild tutorials.

The program includes presentations by both EasyBuild users and developers, as well as talks about open source projects relevant to the EasyBuild community.

The 12th EasyBuild User Meeting will be held Mon-Wed 19-21 April 2027 in Montréal (Canada).

We also intend to record all sessions, and will make the recordings available shortly after the live presentations, via the EasyBuild YouTube channel.

Remote attendees will be able to submit questions via the #eum channel in the EasyBuild Slack. Comments in YouTube will be disabled for the live streaming events.

Registration

If you plan to attend one or more presentations (on-site or remotely), you must register.
Seats for on-site attendance are limited.

Organisation

Program

The 12th EasyBuild User Meeting consists of 3 days of presentations and hands-on sessions.

Please note that all times are in Eastern Daylight Time (EDT),
which is equivalent to UTC-4 and CEST-6 (so 10:00 EDT is equivalent to 16:00 CEST).

We intentionally leave ample time in between talks to allow for Q&A, interactive discussions, switching between speakers and breaks.

All talks are in-person, unless otherwise indicated.
