+
+# Why a Gerrit User Summit in Europe?
+
+We want to engage with a *wider and more diverse community*, who can bring
+new requirements and needs from of the European Gerrit Community;
+an opportunity to *see more faces and get new ideas*.
+From a poll for the Gerrit community here’s what we found out that some
+70% of the polled base would participate in a London event. There is clearly
+a meaningful part of the Gerrit use base that is European based and not served
+well by the US based events.
+
+**Gerrit interest and adoption around the world**
+
+See below a heatmap of the results of the polls on the interest of having
+a Gerrit User Summit this year.
