Open Community Experience (OCX) 2027
About This Event
Open Community Experience (OCX) 2027 is the Eclipse Foundation's flagship open-source conference, bringing developers, maintainers, architects, researchers, engineering leaders, technology organizations, and open-source communities together for three days in Brussels, Belgium.
The conference is designed around technical learning, collaboration, and real-world problem solving. Its program spans a broad range of open technologies, including developer tooling, artificial intelligence, automotive and software-defined vehicles, cloud-native technologies and enterprise Java, IoT and embedded systems, open-source compliance, security, and research.
OCX combines technical presentations with hands-on workshops, tutorials, Birds of a Feather sessions, community discussions, and dedicated networking opportunities. Rather than separating individual open-source communities into isolated events, the conference encourages participants to move between technical areas and exchange knowledge across projects, industries, and disciplines.
The 2027 edition is expected to feature more than 120 sessions and workshops, over 100 speakers, and more than 600 participants from over 40 countries. The conference provides an opportunity to learn directly from developers and maintainers building open technologies while connecting with organizations and communities shaping the future of open-source software.
One Country — Many Groups — One Voice.
