2013 Mozilla Summit: October 4 - 6, Brussels, Belgium / Santa Clara, USA / Toronto, Canada
The Mozilla Summit is an assembly of, well, Mozillians, all coming together for three-days of inspiration, connection, and purpose. Participants will include paid staff from Mozilla Corp. and Mozilla Foundation (about 900), core volunteers (about 960), select Mozilla partners (5-10), and available Mozilla Board Members. Leveraging the content planning work that will emerge from a Summit Planning Assembly in June, the Summit will take place over the course of three days (in three regionally diverse cities) this fall.
The Summit Planning Assembly is a gathering of global delegates (25-30) nominated to represent their regional and functional areas to lay the groundwork that is necessary for the successful execution of the Summit in October. This event is scheduled for June 14-16th at the Mozilla Paris Space in France.

Agenda
By the day
The Mozilla Summit is designed to help us connect with each other, align around our mission and create a shared vision of the future. By the end, we'll have a concrete strategy to make this vision real. Combining a small handful of keynotes with interactive fairs and sessions designed by you, the Summit is a full 72 hours/4,320 minutes/259,200 seconds of magic, created by and dedicated to the Mozilla community.

It's your Summit
It will only succeed if you turn it into the event you need it to be. There are a number of ways you can do this:
- Facilitate a 'supporting session' on day one. Find out how: Summit2013/Supporting Sessions
- Propose or facilitate an open session. Find out how: Summit2013/Open Sessions
- Showcase something amazing during one of the fairs. Find out how: Summit2013/Fairs
There will also be many chances to lead and shape the conversation in real time during, including the 'framing the future' session on Day One and the 'creating an action plan' session on Day Three.
What happens next?
Following the Summit, everyone will be encouraged to consolidate their plans, blog about the future and get started working on Mozilla's next steps. More broadly, we'll be using the outcomes of the Summit to consolidate and finalize Mozilla's plans for the next few years. If we all work to make the Summit a success, we will leave there with a clear vision of where Mozilla is headed and what we each need to do next. In many ways, it's the trip home where it all begins.
