Plugfests are great tool for providing feedback to the T11 organization on how well the standard is going and if there are any flaws that need fixing. Plugfests are also used to help inform the developer community of whose products were tested and how far along the ecosystem is in that area.

The next Plugfest will be held at UNH in Durham, NH on October 23-27, 2023

Participating companies that execute an NDA to attend an upcoming plugfest event and withdraw before the event will have their participation fees held for a future plugfest event.

Participating companies that sign NDAs for two successive plugfests events from which they withdraw will be barred from participating in another plugfest event for one (1) year from the date of the second withdrawn plugfest event. Withdrawal from the second successive plugfest event will result in forfeiting any paid plugfest registration fees.

In order to participate in Plugfest Committee test planning calls and the plugfest itself, an NDA  agreement must be signed and in the FCIA office prior to the date set for each event. You may access the NDA form here.
