In just a few weeks, Brussels will once again become the centre of the Odoosphere!
From 24–26 September, the Brussels Expo will welcome tens of thousands of attendees, developers, and partners for the official release of Odoo 20.
But this year comes with an exciting twist: Odoo Experience is officially going global!
Learn everything you need to know about Odoo Experience 2026: the regional editions, what to expect from Odoo 20, this year’s top trends, and where to catch our talks.
Odoo Experience global agenda
This year marks a huge step for Odoo's flagship event. Last year, Odoo Experience in Brussels was bigger than ever before with:
40K+ attendees
400+ exhibitors
400+ talks.
But this year, for the first time in company history, Odoo Experience (OXP) will be happening across five countries throughout September:
Mexico City: September 2–3
United States: September 2–3
Kenya: September 3–4
India: September 11–12
Belgium: September 24–26 (Flagship event).
With the global expansion, Odoo Experience will once again be breaking records:
Attendee numbers have increased by 190%, from 40K to 116K
The number of talks held at OXP has grown by 138%, from 400 to 950+
Exhibitors at the event have expanded from 400 to 770+, representing a growth of 93%.
With individual event pages promoting Odoo 20 across all five international stops, users wondered when the new version would actually launch.
Recently, Odoo CEO Fabien Pinckaers cleared up the mystery: the events in Mexico, the US, Kenya, and India will offer early previews.
But the official global release of Odoo 20 will happen during the main keynote in Belgium, on September 24th.
