*Dear Apache Airflow Community,*
As we close the year, we want to thank you for your energy, contributions, and support. We wish you happy holidays and an amazing start to the new year! ✨ We’re also excited to announce that the edition of *Airflow Summit 2026 <https://airflowsummit.org/>* will take place from *August 31st to September 2nd *in Austin, Texas and the *Call for Papers is officially open!* <https://sessionize.com/airflow-summit-2026/> If you’d like to get a head start during the winter break, it’s a great moment to start shaping your proposal. This year’s program will feature three focused tracks designed to support every stage of the Airflow journey: - *Builder Track:* If your talk focuses on building, operating, or scaling Airflow, whether you're writing DAGs, managing deployments, tuning performance, or keeping pipelines reliable at scale, submit it to the Builder Track. This track is ideal for sessions that share hands-on techniques, architectural patterns, lessons learned in production, or deep dives into orchestration and platform engineering. - *Data & AI Application Track:* If your talk explores how Airflow powers data products, analytics workflows, ML pipelines, or downstream ML and AI outcomes, submit it to the Data & AI Application Track. Sessions in this track should demonstrate how teams integrate Airflow with modern data and ML ecosystems, including experimentation, quality, metrics, model training, or analytics operations. - *Data Strategy Track:* If your talk covers the organizational or strategic side of Airflow, such as team structure, governance, observability, adoption planning, cross-functional alignment, or long-term platform strategy, submit it to the Data Strategy Track. This track is best for leaders sharing frameworks, decisions, and lessons that help organizations scale Airflow effectively and sustainably. This is your opportunity to share your knowledge, real-world experiences, and innovative ideas with the global Apache Airflow community. *Submit your session and help us orchestrate the future!* Submit CFP proposal <https://sessionize.com/airflow-summit-2026/> Remember that the *2025 session recordings* <https://www.youtube.com/@ApacheAirflow> are now available, along with the* photo album <https://photos.app.goo.gl/sW1o2aj8hkhKZbhf6>* from the Seattle edition. We hope they inspire your proposals and bring back great memories from the community. *Interested in Sponsoring?* Airflow Summit is made possible thanks to the support of organizations that believe in open-source, community, and the future of workflow orchestration.
