No More BABBQ — Thanks for the Meat and the Memories!

As the BABBQ 16 comes to an end, we learned the sad news that this will be the last BABBQ. XDA has been a part of this yearly meet-up for the past 5 years, where we met everyone from software cooks to those enthusiasts willing to explore every corner. We've loved every moment of every year.

"This might be the end of the BABBQ, and possibly IDEAA, but the impact we've had will last for a very very long time"

Aaron Kasten

The BABBQ has hosted thousands of people over its lifespan, with dozens of booths and camps from all sorts of groups — software developers, OEMs and hardware manufacturers, and Android lovers from every corner of the world. We've had our XDA hangout spot every year, where we've shared stories and interacted with the community through chats and giveaways. If you've ever been to one of our booths, we hope you had a good time!

It's sad to see the Big Barbecue come to an end, and it will be missed. We'll always have fond memories of the insightful lectures from industry figures, the fireside chats and the friends we made through the halls of whatever convention center we happened to meet at that year. Tricycle races, RC robots roaming around, the pool parties where nobody actually used the pool — and the meat, oh, that sweet, sweet barbecue at the closing of every gathering. If you've been here, you know how much fun it has been. It might be no more, but the BABBQ has brought Android's new-found motto to life every year: be together, not the same.

We invite you to take a trip down memory lane and to check out our experience at the BABBQ through the years in the videos below!
