TPAC Breakout Sessions Information

Hello,

Per our discussion today, here is the information on breakout sessions.

Kind regards,

Rachael


TPAC Breakouts provide a great opportunity for participants to organize
discussion among the full W3C community about new or existing Web and
W3C topics. This year we have breakout sessions each day of the week.
You can help us by making sure your sessions are intended for community
discussion of topics. Sessions should not be used for group meetings or
as extra time for their group meeting agendas.

Once again this year:

  *
Participants will use GitHub to propose, discuss, and update session information. The meeting planners will automatically integrate this GitHub data into the TPAC 2026 site and breakout session calendar [2].
  *
All breakout sessions will have both a physical and a virtual component: a room in the event venue with Zoom teleconference support.
  *
Zoom information will be available from the TPAC breakout calendar.
  *
Breakouts that are public (the default) will be open to anyone to join remotely, free of charge, without a TPAC registration.

Session proposals received before 8 October will be allocated to the
breakout slots on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. We urge participants
to propose breakout sessions by 8 October so that the meeting planners
can try to resolve scheduling conflicts. On 13 October we expect to
announce the breakout schedule for the first three days of the week.

Some TPAC attendees have indicated that they would like the option of
scheduling breakout sessions in response to discussions that take place
at TPAC. For that reason, once TPAC has started attendees may propose
additional breakout sessions. We will allocate those sessions to the
Thursday afternoon and Friday morning breakout slots. We will allocate
the sessions to those slots as we receive them.
