Just wanted to post this here, someday it might be cool to have this regionally as well, but Sep 12-14 HomelabFest will be in St. Louis, MO (technically St. Charles, which is closer to the airport). It will include a number of homelab-related content creators, talks, a bunch of cool exhibitors (mix of community and companies in the homelab space)... hopefully a good time for all!
I meant to post this earlier but was a bit overwhelmed with all the inbound email. (Planning an event of this scale is hard, I have empathy for anyone who does it lol.)
Is there an agenda or list of speakers posted? Maybe I missed it on the site?

Agenda won't be up until a CFP is over, but there will be 10-20 sessions including a few panels.
I've just got into your videos and they are really excellent. If only I were in the US I might come along.
(Currently adding Flux so my Gitlab k8s things auto-apply to my Homelab. No such thing as too much overkill.)
Looking forward to it, also good luck!
Good to see that you gave yourself and those assisting you a year to plan and setup everything. Many people underestimate the amount of work that goes into planning this type of event and end up overwhelmed and full of last minute panic. Hope all goes well.
Yes—a year is a minimum, from all the people I talked to—and I've already spent about six months prior setting up everything I could pre-announcement. I have a lot of respect for anyone who puts on an event, of any size.
