The first Flights of Foundry was in April of 2020, after seven chaotic weeks of planning and amazing work by over 26 volunteers. It ran over three days, with around-the-clock programming and participants from around the globe. It went so well, Dream Foundry decided to do it again. The rest is history!
As one of the biggest virtual, multi-disciplinary conventions around, Flights of Foundry is a unique opportunity to connect with colleagues, mingle with peers, and hear from others working in the industry. You’ll meet people you’d never find on the regular conference circuit because they don’t have to travel. And you’ll hear conversations that go deeper than at other conferences, too, because we can build on our archive of previous content.
Flights of Foundry will always be virtual, global, and free of mandatory registration fees. (Though we need money to run. If you can, please give us money.)
New in 2026
We’re celebrating our seven year itch by upgrading our platform to one made for an event like ours. That means an end to the often frustrating user experience of past years and access to features attendees have been asking for including:
- An improved schedule display interface that will make it much easier to add sessions you want to attend to your calendar.
- Instant replay on recorded sessions!
- Video-based interactive options outside of scheduled program events.
- Mobile-friendly displays that are always in your time zone.
