Community Update 2025: Growing in the Open

Presentation byBenjie & Jem Gillam

Even ten years in, GraphQL continues to evolve—not just in code, but in connection. This year the Foundation has doubled down on transparency, support, and shared leadership: board minutes are now public, Subject Matter Experts have helped shape the conference agenda, and we'll be launching a new program live on stage! There are also updates on our existing initiatives including community grants and GraphQL Locals.

This talk is a thank you to the people behind the progress and a celebration of our growing constellation of contributors. It's also an invitation to step forward and get involved—one of the best ways to do that is by joining our new Community Working Group, giving passionate community members a voice in shaping the Foundation's directions and initiatives for the next ten years of GraphQL.
