+### About BOSC
+
+The Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC) has been [held annually since 2000](/events/bosc/about/). BOSC is organized by the [Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF)](/wiki/Main_Page), a non-profit group dedicated to promoting the practice and philosophy of open source software development and open science within the biological research community.
+
+Since 2000, BOSC has covered all aspects of open source bioinformatics and open science. BOSC's broad spectrum of topics includes practical techniques for solving bioinformatics problems; software development practices; standards and ontologies; approaches that promote open science and sharing of data, results and software; and ways to grow and sustain open source communities.
+
+Last year's conference, [BOSC 2026](/events/bosc-2026/), took place July 14-15, 2026 in Washington, DC (as part of [ISMB 2026](https://www.iscb.org/ismb2026/home)). Read our [BOSC 2026 recap](/2026/08/16/2026-08-16-BOSC2026-recap/)!
+BOSC 2026 included two days of [keynote talks](/events/bosc-2026/bosc-2026-keynotes/), talks from submitted abstracts, two [panels](/events/bosc-2026/panels/) on important topics, and posters. The full lineup of BOSC 2026 talks and posters is available on our [Schedule page](/events/bosc-2026/bosc-2026-schedule/).

+
+BOSC 2026 was followed on July 17-18 by a [CollaborationFest (CoFest for short)](/events/bosc-2026/collaborationfest/), a two-day collaborative work session. CoFests provide an opportunity for anyone interested in open science, biology or programming to meet, talk and work collaboratively.
