On September 9-10, 2026, come together with the vis.gl/deck.gl/openvisualization community to discuss the present and future of the leading open source library for visualisation on the web.1
What?
At the Open Visualization Collaborator Summit, we’ll bring together an international audience of developers to discuss how they are using open-source tools to build applications for geospatial analysis, biological research, AI training, and beyond. Our goal is to foster collaboration, encourage contributions, and shape the future of open-source visualisation across disciplines.
Where?
We’ll be hosting the 2026 Open Visualization Collaborator Summit at ETH’s Hönggerberg HCI building in Zurich, Switzerland.
Who?
We are contributors who maintain open-source libraries at the heart of the Open Visualization community – including deck.gl, kepler.gl, GeoDa, cosmos.gl, and SQLRooms; developers who build applications with them; and folks who are passionate about data visualisation in general. Come along to dive into topics like browser-based rendering, GPU-accelerated data processing, and scientific visualisation. Share your work, meet others facing similar challenges, and help define the future of the open visualisation ecosystem.
