5 reasons you should be at OpenText World 2026
This year’s conference in Orlando is less than two months away and registration is in full swing. But maybe you’re still not sure if this is the conference for you or what you’ll get out of it.
In case you’re on the fence, here are 5 reasons you shouldn’t miss it:
No. 1 – Get a faster read on what’s next
Hear directly from the experts who are putting enterprise AI into practice and shaping the OpenText roadmap. Leaders will share their perspectives on how organizations are moving beyond AI experimentation toward the agentic enterprise, where AI orchestrates processes across the business at a speed and scale that simply wasn’t possible before.
Whether you’re making technology decisions for your organization, helping clients navigate them, or building solutions and services around them, you’ll gain the expertise to make sense of what’s ahead.
“[This was my] first time attending and I found it beneficial as an introduction to AI, its capabilities, and options that are available,” said a vice president with a national financial services organization who attended last year’s event.
Come away with the context you need to decide which technologies are most essential and will deliver the biggest impact to your organization.
No. 2 – Find folks who get you
Meet people in your industry or line of business who are tackling the same pressures to modernize, secure data for AI, and improve how work gets done. Connect during organized meetups, compare notes on the expo floor, swap stories over lunch, and keep the conversation flowing during social hours.
OpenText World 2026 is where the right people, ideas, and opportunities come together to turn ambition into action. It’s also a chance to find people who can challenge your thinking, share what they’ve learned, and help turn an idea into something real.
“The networking opportunities were great,” said an IT supervisor for a national utilities company about OpenText World 2025. “The information in the presentations I attended was helpful, and I learned more about OpenText technologies.”
No. 3 – Go deep. Stay relevant
Dig into the details of the OpenText solutions you care most about or discover new ones. See our products in action and get your questions answered by the experts who built them. You’ll explore relevant use cases, take in live demos, and join sessions grounded in proof and problem-solving. Learn how the data you already own can provide trusted context for AI, whether you deploy OpenText solutions on premise, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment.
“I learned a lot and enjoyed the breakouts for new-to-me products that OpenText offers,” said an IT manager with a global pharmaceuticals manufacturing company and 2025 attendee.
And because no organization solves every challenge alone, you’ll see how the OpenText partner ecosystem bring complementary technology, expertise, and services together to address complex business needs.
The most successful organizations know that value doesn’t end at deployment. Through real-world examples, proven success strategies, and direct access to AI practitioners, you’ll learn practical ideas for driving stronger business outcomes long after implementation.
This collective experience that OpenText World 2026 offers is particularly powerful. Leave with a more complete picture of what it takes to make technology work in the real world, from implementation and adoption through to ongoing optimization and growth.
No. 4 – Hear about AI at work inside OpenText
Learn how we’ve made ourselves “client zero” by putting more than 70 of our own solutions to work across our hybrid and multi-cloud environment to test, scale, and refine real-world innovation. Get an inside look at the transformation of a traditional network and security operation into an AI-enabled Global Command Center, including the challenges, lessons learned, and outcomes along the way.
These learnings become more valuable when shared. Clients can see what’s working in practice, partners can take those lessons into their own client conversations, and the wider OpenText community can learn from what it takes to move AI from ambition to real-world outcomes.
Leave with practical ideas and proven approaches for turning AI ambition into greater responsiveness, healthier margins, and faster recovery when things go wrong.
