SCALE 23x

We are proud to announce that the 23rd Annual Southern California Linux Expo – SCaLE 23X will return to Pasadena on March 5-8, 2026 at the Pasadena Convention Center. We invite you to share your work on FOSS programs and open hardware projects with the rest of the community, as well as exchange ideas with some leading experts in these fields. The CFP will close on Dec 1, 2025.

SCaLE 23x – the 23nd Annual Southern California Linux Expo – will take place on March 5-8, 2026 at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, CA. We look forward to bring together the open source community in the greater LA area for another year of learning, building and sharing.

Welcome to the revamped Scale diversity report. Scale launched expanded diversity/demographic questions for the 21x conference we've spent two years revamping how we analyse and report that data. We now have the start of trends to report on with two conferences under our belt with the new information.

We're thrilled to welcome you back to Pasadena for SCALE 22x! One of the highlights of Pasadena is the wide number of dining and entertainment options within walking distance of the convention center.

SCaLE 22x – the 22nd Annual Southern California Linux Expo – will take place on March 6-9, 2025 at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, CA.

We are now accepting proposals for SCaLE 22x presentations and workshops.
