'''GUADEC''', formerly the '''GNOME Users And Developers European Conference''', is an annual developer conference whose prime topic is the development of the [[GNOME|GNOME desktop environment]] and its underlying base software such as [[GTK]], [[GStreamer]], etc.

The first GUADEC was organised by Mathieu Lacage as a one-off event and attracted around seventy GNOME contributors.<ref>{{cite web|last=de Icaza |first=Miguel |title=The Story of the GNOME project |url=http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/gnome-history.html |access-date=11 July 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010224061347/http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/gnome-history.html |archive-date=24 February 2001 }}</ref> It was the first time many of them had met in person. The conference was judged a success, and has been held annually in different locations since then, organised by local volunteers. The size has increased five-fold since the first conference.
