TPAC, our major event of the year, gathers our community for thought-provoking discussions and coordinated work to advance the invaluable work of our groups. During the exciting week, W3C Working and Interest Groups gather and network to resolve challenging technical and social issues that the web faces.
TPAC brings together W3C technical groups, the Board of Directors, the Advisory Board, the Technical Architecture Group and the Advisory Committee.

Chat with participants:
The meeting is hybrid with the main in-person hub at the Kobe International Conference Center in Kobe, Japan.
W3C meetings operate under the W3C Code of Conduct and the W3C Antitrust and Competition Policy.
Also, take no photos of people with red lanyards.
Press at TPAC: TPAC is a working meeting of W3C Members and groups. While most meeting records will be made publicly available online after the meeting, many participants prefer that their work-in-progress not be reported verbatim. Further, some organizations prohibit their employees from speaking to the press about in-progress work. As we don't want to inhibit participation, this event is therefore not open to the press.
Registration
Before you register to attend a meeting at TPAC as a remote or in-person attendee, please read the participation rules, the registration details and fees, as well as the event health rules for in-person participation.
Schedule
The TPAC schedule is adapted to the hybrid format and brings more cross participation and interactions between groups and attendees.
