In conjunction with our annual meeting, [BOSC](/events/bosc/), the [OBF](/) runs a collaborative event (formerly called CodeFest, short for coding festival, and now called CollaborationFest, or CoFest for short). At these events, participants work together to contribute code, documentation, training materials, and challenging analysis problems and use cases. If you are interested in learning and contributing in an intensely collaborative environment, then CollaborationFest is for you.

Lots of the past CoFest pages also have this alias - I would guess Hugo prioritises the most recent based on the date in the metadata. But that is a guess.

CollaborationFest 2026 will be a collaborative work event at which participants work together to contribute code, documentation, training materials, and challenging analysis problems and use cases. If you are interested in learning and contributing in an intensely collaborative environment, then CollaborationFest is for you. Bring your own project ideas or come ready to collaborate with others on their projects!

![Participants at CoFest 2025](static/img/2025/bosc2025-img/CoFest room - Iddo.jpeg)

BOSC has organized CollaborationFests (aka CoFests) every year before or after ISMB since 2010 (see, for example, [the 2025 CoFest page](https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2025/ismb-collaborationfest-2025/)).

### Dates

Friday July 17 to Saturday July 18 (right after ISMB 2026).

### How to sign up

Note that participation is free


Limited remote participation will be possible, but engagement opportunities will depend on the people and projects active on the day. A video feed from the room will be available, but joining will require you to be a registered (virtual or in-person) ISMB/ECCB participant.

these activities are on dynamically updated Github pages, and will only be fully ready "the day of", or shortly before.

### Code of Conduct

As an OBF-organized event, CollaborationFest 2026 is covered by the [OBF Code of Conduct](https://github.com/OBF/obf-docs/blob/master/code-of-conduct/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
