FediMTL 2026 | Digital Sovereignty and the Social Web

Conference · Panels · Networking

FediMTL brings international and Canadian leaders to Montreal for a full day of talks and discussions focused on digital sovereignty and the future of the open social web.

Co-presented by the Social Web Foundation, Qlub, and FediHost, the event is designed for developers, creators, journalists, policymakers, and citizens who want to better understand how the fediverse — a decentralized technology — enables people and communities to regain control over their data, support local digital infrastructure, and build interoperable, sustainable online communities.

Under the theme “An Independent Digital Future,” FediMTL will feature conferences, panels, and exchanges with key figures from the social web ecosystem, including co-authors of the ActivityPub protocol, open-source platform developers, and leaders working in public-interest digital innovation.

The event will take place with seated audiences and will also be available via live webcast.
