Questions people ask
5 answeredCommunity Leadership Summit 2026 took place on October 19, 2026.
It was held at Raleigh Convention Center in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Community leaders, organizers and managers from open source and technology communities were the intended attendees.
It was most useful for community managers and open source program staff who wanted to trade practical experience with peers, since the day was an unconference where attendees proposed and picked the topics onsite and the registration fee was only $25. Anyone wanting a fixed program of prepared talks and vendor demos would get less from it, because the content depended on who was in the room; the co-location with All Things Open in Raleigh also made it an easy add-on for people already attending that conference.
Attendees at open source and technology community events usually wear casual clothes such as jeans, a t-shirt or casual button-down, and comfortable shoes for a full day of discussions at a convention center.
