Where the community comes together.

Join OGC Events

The best ideas rarely happen in isolation. OGC events bring together government, industry, academia, and innovators from around the world to collaborate, share experience, and shape the future of geospatial interoperability. 

Explore

OGC Connect

Held three times each year on a rotating global footprint across the Americas, Europe, and a third region, OGC Connect brings the community together through parallel Build and Apply tracks, making it easy for technical and strategic teams to participate together. 

OGC iDays

Held each winter in Germany, OGC iDays offers a focused environment for exploring emerging topics with 250–350 participants—large enough to bring diverse perspectives together, yet small enough to remain highly collaborative. 

Regional & Virtual Events

Throughout the year, OGC also offers regional meetings, webinars, and virtual events that make it easy for members to stay engaged wherever they are. 

More Than Sessions

The conversations that begin in meeting rooms often continue in working groups, Builder Days, Testbeds, Pilots, and Agora. Events aren’t the destination—they’re where new collaborations begin.
