State of the Open Home 2026: join us live in Utrecht, the Netherlands!
Paulus Schoutsen
It’s time to celebrate what we’ve built together, and get excited about what’s coming next – at State of the Open Home
That’s right, you don’t have to watch from home – you can join us live in Utrecht, the Netherlands, on Wednesday, April 8.
This year’s theme: Building in the open
Building in the open has always been at the heart of what the Open Home Foundation does, across Home Assistant and other projects. This year, we’re taking it to the next level – shining a spotlight on the transparency and collaboration that sets this community apart.
We’re talking open roadmaps, honest conversations about the way we work and the challenges we face, and how we solve them together. Plus, we’ll be showcasing what our community achieved in 2025, giving you a look at what’s ahead – and asking you to help shape it.
What to expect
We’re putting the final touches on the program (watch this space!) – but here’s a taste of what’s in store:
- Celebrate all we’ve achieved together in 2025
- See what’s ahead for Home Assistant and the wider ecosystem
- Connect with fellow Open Home advocates and contributors in person
- Have your say in the discussions guiding the future of the Open Home
And that’s just the start. Expect special guests, a few surprises, and the kind of positive energy you only get when this community gathers in one room ⚡.
Tickets available soon!
Limited spots will be available for our live audience in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Tickets will be available from early February – and they’ll go fast, so stay tuned for details! We’ll also be livestreaming globally for those who can’t make it in person.
