- Two parallel tracks for the first time across both days (rooms Madera and Azzar; track = room). Agenda published as a Sessionize embed (event 40kjkkzi) on mysqlandfriends.eu; CFP ran 25 Nov-25 Dec 2025 on sessionize.com/prefosdem-mysql-belgian-days. Affiliations taken from each speaker's Sessionize tagline or bio (e.g. Alkin Tezuysal's bio: Director of Services at Altinity; Vitor Oliveira: Huawei; Tomas Ulin: 'Now with VillageSQL'); null where neither names an employer. Sessionize prints 'Tusa Marco' and 'Fernando Laudares Carmagos' (normalized). Ended with the MySQL Rockstar ceremony. Free, registration mandatory via Oracle eventreg; no price published.
