Travelling by train?
A word of caution for those travelling to T-DOSE by train. While our wonderful venue is located within walking distance from the Geldrop railway station, ProRail has chosen this week to do some railway maintenance in the area.
For this reason, there will be no railway service to both Eindhoven CS and Geldrop train station during the upcoming T-DOSE weekend. The NS will operate a replacement bus service between both stations, as well as from Boxtel, Helmond and Maarheeze - depending on which direction you are travelling from.

Social Event
The main part of any conference is of course the social aspect! A well established T-DOSE tradition is to have a dinner and a couple of drinks with speakers, volunteers and visitors to end the first conference day. And our twentieth anniversary will honour this tradition. Our social event will start at 5pm on Saturday evening. This is a great way to interact informally with all our speakers and whoever else you meet at T-DOSE. Discuss your experiences of the day and all the presentation that are still coming on the next day. Everybody is welcome.
Register now to be a part of this!
If you are interested in a nice dinner with like-minded people, then please let us know via email to socialevent @ t-dose.org. Because we need to book in advance, there will only be a very limited amount of extra slots available for sale on the day itself. Yes, really limited, if not fully booked in pre-registration. So, register early to guarantee your place at the table. Do not wait or you might get disappointed.
Social event tickets cost 35 euro. You can pay during the event itself, at the T-DOSE info stand on Saturday. The social event is only open to people who have registered and paid before this event starts. Attendees of the social event will gather in the main hall of the T-DOSE event location. Don't be late, the doors will close at 5pm for the start of the social event. The entrance fee must be paid before that time at the T-DOSE info stand. If you have special dietary constraints, such as vegetarian, please specify this in your email.
Get in the mood for T-DOSE
Twenty years ago was the very first Technical Dutch Open Source Event (T-DOSE) at the Technical University in Eindhoven. Since then, the T-DOSE conference has become an annual recurrence that brings together people interested in open source software and hardware from the entire country and beyond - both developers and users.
A lot of previous presentations have been recorded and are available online. Just like the conference itself, access to these recordings is completely free. Check out our own Youtube channel, or find older editions on the CityTV channel.
Since 2024, it is also possible to view all presentations free of Big Tech on our PeerTube channel: tube.t-dose.org. This years recordings will also be published there after the event. And like last year, we live-stream some presentations for those who cannot attend in person.
Get in the mood for the T-DOSE weekend now, by re-watching previous conference editions online!
