The FORCE2026 conference is the flagship annual meeting of the FORCE11 community, bringing together a global audience of researchers, publishers, librarians, technologists, funders, and policymakers dedicated to advancing open scholarship.
We are thrilled that the 2026 edition will be held in Singapore — the first FORCE11 conference in Southeast Asia. This presents a unique opportunity for sponsors to connect with a rapidly growing, innovation-driven research and academic ecosystem in the region.
By partnering with FORCE2026, your organisation will gain visibility among key decision-makers and thought leaders, build brand presence in the global open science space, and engage directly with attendees through exhibition, digital promotion, and networking events.
