​What is OSA Con?

​OSA Con is a community-driven conference for engineers and architects building modern analytics and AI systems. Organized by the Open Source Analytics (OSA) community, the conference brings together practitioners, project maintainers, and data leaders to share real-world architectures, lessons from production systems, and updates on the open-source tools powering today’s analytics and AI platforms.

​Description of OSA Con 2026:

​2026 is the year that agentic AI finally works, and the results are transforming open source analytics. At OSA Con 2026, engineers, architects, and builders get real about the convergence of open source tech and AI models. We’re exploring how AI workloads affect data management, how agents help build analytic platforms, and how analytic data feeds back into autonomous agent actions. But we’re more than AI hypesters. We’re tracking on-going trends in real-time analytics, shared data lakes, and innovative new applications built on open source. No vendor pitches or 10x AI miracles. Just deep technical talks from great engineers building stuff that works.
