October has been buzzing with excitement as we hosted two AsyncAPI conferences and deployed a new version of our server-api. We also welcomed a new ambassador, and our Community Building Goals for 2026 are now ready for review.
Dive into the summary for all the exciting updates!
AsyncAPI Conferences 2025
The AsyncAPI Conference this year couldn't have been a major success without the support of our event financial sponsors. Through their support, we were able to cover most of the logistical aspects that come with conference planning, such as supporting travels, printing cheat sheets for the booth, and shipping swags.
I want to thank our Platinum sponsors, Gravitee and IBM, for their sponsorship and partnership with us this year.
Bangalore Recap
At the beginning of October, we returned to Bangalore after our last conference, which had taken place two years prior. It was an amazing experience to finally put faces to the names of some of the maintainers, mentees, and ambassadors we have been working with over the past few years. We had the opportunity to utilize the conference budget and cover the costs of our travel to the conference.
AsyncAPI Maintainers and Mentees
We also had amazing conversations at the API Standards booth, together with our friends from JSON Schema, who were also present with us. It was a great time of networking and building boats!
Recordings from the conference are now available on YouTube; head over and watch.
As we prepare for the 2026 conference, Lukasz has written an open letter on why companies should get involved. Please read and share the article with your networks!
Online Conference Recap
This year marked the 5th anniversary of the AsyncAPI Online Conference, and it was interesting to see how much the community has grown. We had attendees and speakers engage with us during the conference, and we garnered over 350 views from YouTube.
The event wouldn't have been a success without our volunteers, who worked on various aspects, from design to on-stage and off-stage support, and the speakers who took the time to share their knowledge. If you missed the conference, you can watch the recorded sessions.
Paris
We are heading to Paris on December 11th for the AsyncAPI track, and preparations are underway. There is an exciting lineup of speakers and a variety of topics being covered; be sure to check the agenda once it's out in the coming week.
We still have free tickets and discounts available. Be sure also to grab one before they run out!
Developer Week 2026
The call for speakers for the AsyncAPI Summit at Developer Week 2026 is still open until the end of November. Please submit your proposals before the deadline, and we look forward to seeing you there!
AsyncAPI Community Building Goals and Objectives for 2026 Proposal
The proposal for the 2026 community building goals is now available for review. This time, we are focusing on one goal to grow the number of maintainers in the community, while also improving some of our initiatives and programs.
Please take a moment to review the open PR related to the AsyncAPI Community Building Goals Proposal for 2026 and share your thoughts and insights.
Spec x Tooling
We are thrilled to announce that server-api now supports AsyncAPI v3! Following dedicated effort and hard work from Ashish Padhy, the implementation is now up and running smoothly, and you can explore its features. Additionally, Studio support for these new changes will be rolling out soon. However, you can now also use the AsyncAPI CLI to start your API effortlessly. For more details, check out the deployed link.
TSC x Ambassadors
We are excited to welcome Ankit Kumar as one of our AsyncAPI Ambassadors. You can also check out Ankit's contributions to the community.
Additionally, we welcome Ruchi Pahkle as the newest addition to the Technical Steering Committee.
AsyncAPI Conference Hall of Fame
I would like to highlight and thank these amazing volunteers who dedicated their skills and time to the success of the Online Conference, from designers to those working both on-stage and off-stage.
