Open Source Summit Europe 2027

Open Source Summit Europe 2027 runs from 20 to 22 September 2027 in Glasgow, Scotland, and is the European edition of the Linux Foundation's umbrella open source conference. The Linux Foundation describes it as 'the premier vendor-neutral conference for open source developers and technologists to collaborate, share information and learn about the latest technologies and innovations across open source.' Rather than a single track, the summit is a bundle of co-located conferences under one registration: the 2026 Prague edition ran eleven tracks including Open AI + Data, Cloud & Orchestration, Digital Trust, Linux, OSS Enabling & Management, Packages/Images & Containers, Safety-Critical Software, plus the Embedded Linux Conference, the PX4 Dev Summit and the Zephyr Developer Summit, with further co-located events on the two days beforehand. For enterprises, the Open AI + Data track is where open-model, open-weights and open data-infrastructure work is discussed by the maintainers who write it. As of September 2026 the Glasgow venue, track list, call for proposals and registration for 2027 have not been published.

• ✓VP of Engineering
• ✓Head of Open Source Program Office (OSPO)
• ✓Platform and infrastructure engineering leads
• ✓Open source maintainers and contributors
• ✓Enterprise architects
• ✓CTOs of software-intensive businesses
• ✓Software supply chain and security leads

An engineering VP or OSPO lead gets something here that no vendor conference sells: unmediated access to the maintainers of the open source that your platform actually depends on, including the open-model and open data-infrastructure work in the AI track. That is where you learn which projects have real succession plans and which are one burned-out maintainer from becoming your supply chain risk. Because several conferences are bundled into one badge, a single team trip can cover cloud native, embedded, safety-critical and AI audiences at once, and the September 2027 date is published early enough to plan headcount and travel a full budget cycle ahead.

• ✓Three-day programme, 20-22 September 2027, Glasgow, Scotland (Linux Foundation events calendar and the 2027 event page)
• ✓'Open AI + Data' track — the AI/ML track carried by the 2026 Prague edition
• ✓Track structure used in 2026: eleven tracks including Cloud & Orchestration, Digital Trust, Linux, Open Source 101, OSS Enabling & Management, Packages/Images & Containers and Safety-Critical Software
• ✓Co-located conferences run inside the summit: Embedded Linux Conference, PX4 Dev Summit and Zephyr Developer Summit in 2026
• ✓Additional co-located events on the two days before the main programme (5-6 October in the 2026 Prague edition)
• ✓Organised by the Linux Foundation as the European leg of the Open Source Summit series, alongside the North America edition (Vancouver, 17-19 May 2027)

• ★Explicitly vendor-neutral — the Linux Foundation's own framing — so the AI and infrastructure sessions come from maintainers rather than from a single vendor's product marketing
• ★Bundles several independent conferences into one registration (in 2026: Embedded Linux Conference, PX4 Dev Summit and Zephyr Developer Summit ran inside it), so one trip covers audiences that would otherwise need three
• ★Direct access to the maintainers of the projects in your stack, which is the practical reason engineering leaders attend over a commercial AI expo
• ★Dates and host city published more than a year ahead on the Linux Foundation events calendar, well before the site, CFP or programme exist
• ★First Glasgow edition — the European summit has rotated through Amsterdam (2025) and Prague (2026)
