OCX 2027 is heading back to Brussels. Here’s what’s changing

OCX 2027 back

OCX 2027 is coming back to Brussels on 13-15 April 2027, and this time it’s taking place at Tour & Taxis. If you were at OCX last year, you already know why that’s worth marking on your calendar. If you weren’t, here’s the short version.

What you'll actually learn

The program runs across a Main Track plus five domains: Tooling, Automotive and software-defined vehicles, AI, Compliance, and Research. Each track goes deep on its own, but people wander between them constantly, which tends to be where the best conversations start.

What to expect onsite

Tour & Taxis is an industrial space in Brussels with real character. High ceilings, exposed steel, room to move around. On the program side, expect:

Technical talks

led by practitioners with real-world implementation experience.

Workshops

smaller groups, deeper interaction, and longer engagement time.

Birds of a Feather

open discussions where ideas, challenges, and use cases are shared directly.

Cross-track movement

space for conversations that go beyond quick booth interactions..

Dedicated networking time

space for conversations that go beyond quick booth interactions..

Across three days, you’ll have the chance to attend 120+ sessions and workshops, meet 100+ speakers, and connect with 600+ attendees from more than 40 countries.

Sponsorship for OCX 2027 is open

None of this happens without the companies backing it, and sponsorship for 2027 is open now. Sponsors get in front of a technical audience: developers and architects evaluating tools, directors, VPs, and C-level people who sign off on what actually gets adopted. 

As Sebastian Sampaoli from Equo stated, “Sponsoring OCX 2026 was a fantastic experience for Equo. The event was exceptionally well organised, and the quality of the audience and conversations made it a standout on our calendar. We’re already looking forward to next year.”

Packages range from Bronze to Diamond, with options like speaking slots, booth space, and promotion to a newsletter list of 110,000+ subscribers. Early-bird pricing runs until 15 October 2026. 

What happens next

Full agenda, speakers, and registration details are coming over the next few months. For now, save the date for OCX 2027: 13–15 April, Tour & Taxis, Brussels.
