Open Source Korea 2026, the Open Source Summit Korea, settles into Seoul, Korea from 11 August 2026 to 12 October 2026, continuing its run as a fixture the industry plans around. It has become the room where the field's thinkers, builders and leaders compare notes and set the agenda. On an annual cycle, it gives the industry a regular moment to regroup and look ahead. Credit for the smooth running goes to The Linux Foundation, who shape the programme end to end. This year's edition calls Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas home.

Few cities suit an event like this as well as Seoul. As a destination, Seoul combines accessibility, hospitality and a character all its own. Arriving is half the worry with most events; not here — Seoul's connections mean you can be at the venue soon after you land. Places to stay are plentiful, and picking one near the venue keeps your mornings short and your options open. When the badge comes off, Seoul keeps giving — good food, local colour and sights worth the detour. As one of Korea's key destinations, Seoul regularly hosts events that draw an international crowd.

Across the schedule, Open Source, Software Development, Software and Coding take centre stage, framed by case studies and practical takeaways. The schedule leaves room to breathe, with breaks built for the conversations that matter as much as the talks. Whether over a scheduled meeting or a chance hallway chat, connections form easily here.

Attendees leave with fresh ideas, new contacts and a clearer view of where the industry is heading. Open Source Korea 2026 rewards anyone looking to stay ahead in a fast-moving field with ideas, contacts and momentum to carry forward.

Full programme details, exhibitor lists and registration information are typically published in the run-up to the event on the official website.
