All Things Open 2026
All Things Open 2026
We’re evolving the conference format for 2026 based on feedback from our community.
The result? A more focused, easier-to-navigate event that creates more opportunities for deeper learning, collaboration, and connection.
For 2026, All Things Open moves from three days to two highly focused days of programming.
Many attendees told us that while they loved the conference, three days could be difficult to fit into busy schedules. The new format delivers the same energy and impact in a more manageable timeframe.
