# Gerrit User Summit is *THE event of the year* for the Community.

We will bring together Gerrit thought leaders, developers, practitioners,
the whole community and ecosystem, in one event, providing attendees
with the opportunity to learn, explore, network face-to-face and help
shape the future of Gerrit development and solutions.

# 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.
