OpenSpace User Meeting

Community › User Meetings › 2026

August 26–28, 2026 · Visualization Center C, Norrköping, Sweden

A look back

Visualization Center C, Norrköping, Sweden

In August 2026, the OpenSpace community gathered in Norrköping, Sweden for the second annual user meeting. OpenSpace users of all levels came together at Visualization Center C for three days of trainings, presentations, hands-on sessions, and networking. Attendees sharpened their skills, picked up new techniques, and connected with their peers over fika.

Visualization Center C, a science center run by the Norrköping municipality and Linköping University, is one of the institutions where OpenSpace is developed. Its stereoscopic dome hosts both public shows and university research and teaching, making it a perfect venue for the first European meeting.

“The community and these meetups really make this product what it is.”
