In our recent Where can you find MySQL from August through October 2026?, we shared a broad view of MySQL conferences, community activities, and user group meetups. Since then, community gatherings in Denver, Taipei, and Nashville have brought MySQL users, developers, and contributors together for technical discussion and local connection.

We are continuing that momentum with a growing series of local meetups and community activities. The goal is simple: make it easier for people around the world to meet, share practical experience, hear about current MySQL work, and take part in the conversation. Below are the confirmed meetups with registration open, followed by activities now taking shape.
