🇨🇦 Breaking New Ground: OSFF Toronto 2026 Call for Papers
The FINOS community continues to expand its global footprint. On April 14, 2026, we are bringing the Open Source in Finance Forum (OSFF) to Toronto for the very first time. As we drive the next wave of industry collaboration, this inaugural Canadian summit will focus heavily on the FINOS Ecosystem, highlighting Open Source AI, Fluxnova, and the Common Domain Model (CDM). We invite thought leaders and technical experts to submit proposals that demonstrate how these initiatives are solving complex business problems and reducing undifferentiated heavy lifting across the sector.
🌟 Open Source in Finance Hackathon NYC 2025 Recap
Mid-October, FINOS members across financial services and technology participated in the Open Source in Finance Hackathon NYC 2025, organized by FINOS & hosted by AWS, proving what's possible when cross-industry teams collaborate in the open by delivering tangible solutions at remarkable speed. FINOS & AWS were very pleased to see that three of the four tracks were cross-firm teams, and the winning team was completely made up of developers from different organizations!
