The FORCE2026 conference is the flagship annual meeting of the FORCE11 community, bringing together a global audience of researchers, publishers, librarians, technologists, funders, and policymakers dedicated to advancing open scholarship.

We are thrilled that the 2026 edition will be held in Singapore — the first FORCE11 conference in Southeast Asia. This presents a unique opportunity for sponsors to connect with a rapidly growing, innovation-driven research and academic ecosystem in the region.

By partnering with FORCE2026, your organisation will gain visibility among key decision-makers and thought leaders, build brand presence in the global open science space, and engage directly with attendees through exhibition, digital promotion, and networking events.

1. Sponsorship currency – All sponsors will be invoiced in US Dollars. 
2. Post-event email – Platinum sponsors may send one dedicated email to all registered delegates who opted in for marketing messages. The message is dispatched by the organisers within two weeks after the conference, using the official conference account. Sponsors shall supply final HTML or text; content is to review.
3. Bag insert – Flyer or small giveaway not larger than A5 and not exceeding 40g each. Sponsors ship 250 units, duty-paid, to SMU by 1 May 2026. One larger “bulky” item (e.g., water bottle, notebook) may be accepted on a first-come basis; please enquire early.
4. Swag table – A communal swag table will be available in the foyer for lightweight items such as stickers, bookmarks, or pens. Space is unstaffed, self-service, and allocated first-come, first-served.
