Hi everyone,
We are thrilled to announce the Gerrit User Summit 2026, taking place on November 9th and 10th.

This year, our event is incredibly special. Thanks to the generous support of Google, we are hosting the summit at their campus in Sunnyvale, California.

Returning to Silicon Valley in California is an emotional comeback: the last summit hosted by Google was organised by Shawn Pearce 10 years ago, just one year before his passing.

The Google campus in Silicon Valley is the birthplace of Gerrit Code Review: hosting the summit at the Moffet park campus makes it a true homecoming—the absolute perfect setting for our global community of contributors, users, and enterprise leaders to reunite, share ideas, and shape the future of code review right where it all began.

Gerrit meets Jujutsu (JJ)

In addition to our traditional, deep-dive Gerrit sessions, we are excited to expand our horizons this year by co-locating the event with the JJ (Jujutsu) user group USA.

Gerrit and JJ share a deeply aligned vision for the future of Change-based version control and a workflow that is ready for today’s requirements for Human + AI agentic workflows. We can’t wait to explore these synergies, showcase future integrations, and discuss how we can push the boundaries of developer productivity together.
