The LGBTQ+ Meet-Up

At XDS, we are proud to foster a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment where every voice can be heard and every identity celebrated. As part of that commitment, we’re excited to once again host the XDS LGBTQ+ Meet-Up during XDS 2026.

With attendees joining us from around the world, XDS is built on the diverse experiences, perspectives, and stories that make our industry stronger. The LGBTQ+ Meet-Up is an opportunity to connect with fellow attendees in a relaxed and welcoming setting, celebrate our community, and build new relationships across the world of external development.

Whether you’re looking to meet new people, reconnect with familiar faces, or simply enjoy an evening among a supportive community, this gathering is for you.

The event is open to all XDS attendees who identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as allies who want to show their support and help foster an inclusive industry for everyone.
