Samvera Connect meetings are intended to be the major annual event in the Samvera year. Samvera advertises them with the slogan "as a Samvera Partner or user, if you can only make it to one Samvera meeting this academic year, this is the one to attend!"
The three-day meetings are preceded by an optional day of workshops. The meeting proper is a mix of plenary sessions, lightning talks, show and tell sessions, and unconference breakouts. The evenings are given over to a mix of conference-arranged activities and opportunities for private meetings over dinner and/or drinks! The meeting program is aimed at existing users, managers and developers and at new folks who may be just "kicking the tires" on Samvera and who want to know more.
The Hydra Connect January 2014 was held at UCSD in San Diego during January 2014, and had 93 attendees from three continents. Hydra Connect 2 - Fall 2014 was held at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland from Sept 30 - October 3, 2014, with 170 attendees from 46 institutions.

Samvera Connect 2017 was held at Northwestern University and attracted almost 200 participants..
