The highly influential annual open-source event, the 7th China Open Source Conference (COSCon’22), will be held online (Metaverse + traditional online live channels) & offline (10+ offline sub-venues) simultaneously from October 29 to 30. This year, our theme is: Open the World!
We prefer Open over Close
We prefer Connection over Broken
We prefer Public Good over Bad News
We hope to contribute to improving the world with open-source technology, open-source methods, and open-source power.
Due to the pandemic, we will continue with the 2021 1+N model, which means one main online sharing venue plus N local offline sub-venues in various cities.
The online conference will feature 1 main forum and 16 sub-forums, covering areas such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data, open-source education, open-source culture, open-source governance, open-source hardware, open-source operating systems, women’s forum, open-source public welfare, open-source business, web application development, and lightning talks. Offline sub-venues will be spread across 12 cities including Chengdu, Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Beijing, where lecturers and special guests from different cities will gather.

Five Highlights of the Conference
China’s first Metaverse open-source conference, immersive and engaging
The Metaverse, which has been booming for a year, still holds great development potential this year. Whether it’s virtual space online meetings for remote work during the pandemic, the open-world game market under the open-source trend, or the “industrial Metaverse” in the era of digital humans and Web3.0, what exactly is the Metaverse? Come explore the Metaverse venue at COSCon’22!
As China’s first Metaverse open-source conference, COSCon’22 will not only be broadcasted through partner communities and media but also move the entire venue to the Metaverse venue supported by NetEase Yaotai. Participants can freely set their conference avatars, roam through various venues like in a 3D game, chat with other participants online, exchange business cards, and even open their cameras for real-time communication within the venue…
