We have opened our Call for Presentations (CFP) for the 2026 OLF Conference! Our event will be taking place on Friday, November 20 and Saturday, November 21 at Dreese Laboratories on the Ohio State University campus in Columbus. We are looking for speakers to present on Saturday.
Is there a subject in Free and Open Source Software that you would like to talk about? Maybe you have experience with a particular tool you want to share, or there’s a new project that excites you which hasn’t gotten a lot of exposure. If you don’t have something yourself, perhaps you know a friend who’s an expert that you can point our way. We would love to hear what you have to talk about, even if you have never given a presentation before! We are working in collaboration with the university’s Cyber Security Club this year, so talks on that subject would be most welcome.
There is an initial cutoff of October 9, so get your submissions in early. We will continue accepting proposals after that if there is any space open in our program. If you have restrictions that only permit you to present at specific times, please leave us a note in the “Past Presentations” section of your proposal. Contact us at speakers@olfconference.org with any questions.
If you do not want to give a traditional presentation, we will be doing Birds of a Feather sessions as usual. Stay tuned to our news page for announcements about hotel reservations, conference registration, and Birds of a Feather sessions. We’re excited to see you there!
