State of Open Con 25

State of Open Con 2025

State of Open Con 25 is the UK’s open technology conference, stateofopencon.com hosted by OpenUK.

Now in its 3rd year, it will set the conversation for the Open Tech community in 2025. With over 150 speakers it brings global experts in software, hardware, data, standards and AI to London and sits at the intersection of engineering, business, law and policy and community. It is the conference that “brings the Bay Area to London.”

If you are not speaking in 2025, watch out for our 2026 CFP.

This unique event is priced at £250 (about $305 US) for two days including catering to make it accessible, and there are free tickets for students and those between roles, to support our community. We have the best job board of any conference thanks to Open Source Job Hub and you will find this available digitally before and after the conference as well as a physical board and Careers Coaching Room during the event.

Meet the open tech community at our 40 tables and enjoy our Delegate Experience, including having your portrait taken by Tiana Lea.

You can also get involved by volunteering and receive a free two day ticket and work one day, becoming part of our vibrant community led by Sam Hepburn and Kim Fletcher.
