Dear Chairs,

This is a call for breakout session proposals for W3C Breakouts Day 2026. Breakouts Day is a remote event where participants organize discussion among the full W3C community about new or existing Web and W3C topics.

In response to feedback after last year's event, this year's event will take place on two days to mitigate some time zone challenges:

  *   25 March, 13:00-15:00 UTC (two 1-hour slots)
  *   26 March, 21:00-23:00 UTC (two 1-hour slots)

No registration for the event is required. Anyone with a W3C account may participate, including non-Members. W3C Members may invite guests (with W3C accounts) to participate.
