There will be a workshop on *Setting up Samba as printserver*, and a free two-hour workshop on *Integrating SAMBA+ AIX in an existing AD domain* on Tuesday. The main conference event will take place from Wednesday to Thursday and is free of charge again. The *Call for Paper* will end on March 19th, 2021, so please submit your talks now! :-) We are further pleased to announce that a free *SMB Interoperability Lab (IO Lab)* will take place online from Wednesday to Friday (May 5th 3:00 pm to 7th 9:00 pm) as part of sambaXP. During the lab participants work together and test, identify and fix bugs in a collaborative setting. We are looking forward to meet you!
