Join OpenForum Europe and partners for the next edition of the Capital Series events, taking place in Dublin, Ireland on 13 October 2026.
In partnership with ADAPT and Open Forum Ireland as part of Ireland’s Presidency of the EU Council, the 9th instalment of these cyclical events, Capital Series Ireland, will bring Brussels-level discussions of open source policy directly to Dublin. This event is a unique opportunity for the local open source community to directly engage with EU and national policymakers to better understand policies that impact the Irish market.
The event will explore different aspects of open source technologies, and their potential to improve competitiveness across smaller European territories. The discussions will build on the Irish implementation of the AI Act and assess its opportunities to unlock cross-border growth. The event will also create space for dialogue between EU institutions and local actors working with open technologies.
Capital Series events are single-day, high-level policy gatherings dedicated to advancing open source policy priorities in alignment with the objectives of the member states holding the Presidency of the Council of the EU. The Series builds on the OFE’s annual EU Open Source Policy Summit in Brussels to further connect the dots between the EU and national policy cycles.
Where? Banquet Hall of the Smock Alley Theatre, Temple Bar, Dublin 8
