"How many times must one do something to make it a tradition? If two data points are enough, join Dr Suze Kundu for the now TRADITIONAL closing keynote at PIDFest 2026!
Following on from her closing session at the last PIDFest in Prague, where she romped through a whirlwind review of several packed days of discussion before somehow convincing nearly 300 people to scream the word “Bridgerton!” in unison, Suze returns with another joyful retrospective of the festival’s biggest moments, boldest ideas, accidental themes, infrastructure in-jokes, and perhaps a few slightly unhinged observations from the front row.
Expect highlights, hindsight, hilarity, and heartwarming reminders of why communities like this matter so much.
From metadata to memes, governance to global collaboration, this closing keynote will celebrate the people, conversations, and connections that keep knowledge connected.
Come for the recap. Stay because statistically speaking, audience participation is now also a tradition. And you can't go against data."
