Dear Free Software Supporter,

**It's official! [LibrePlanet 2023: Charting the Course][1] will be
held at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center (BCEC), a convenient
and central location in Boston, MA.**

The BCEC is providing LibrePlanet with everything we need for our
first time back in person, including an Internet connection for the
livestream and dedicated space for an exhibit hall. It is fully
accessible and near to both public transportation and the FSF
headquarters itself.

Here is how you can get to the venue of LibrePlanet 2023: Charting the
course.

This year's conference will be the first fully hybrid
LibrePlanet. One-third of the speakers will give their talk remotely,
and [you can choose whether to participate in person or online upon
registration][8]. For those attending in person, there will be a
special room at the BCEC dedicated to watching and interacting with
speakers conducting remote talks. No matter if you plan to attend
online or in person, we look forward to celebrating fifteen years of
LibrePlanet with you on March 18 and 19.
