+CollaborationFest 2026 will be a collaborative work event at which participants work together to contribute code, documentation, training materials, and challenging analysis problems and use cases. If you are interested in learning and contributing in an intensely collaborative environment, then CollaborationFest is for you. Bring your own project ideas or come ready to collaborate with others on their projects!

+BOSC has organized CollaborationFests (aka CoFests) every year before or after ISMB since 2010 (see, for example, [the 2025 CoFest page](https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2025/ismb-collaborationfest-2025/).).
+
+### Dates
+
+Friday July 17 to Saturday July 18 (right after ISMB 2026).
+
+### How to sign up
+
+{{< columns >}}
+
+Due to space constraints, participation in CollaborationFest is limited. A registration link will be available shortly.
+
+Limited remote participation will be possible, but engagement opportunities will depend on the people and projects active on the day. A video feed from the room will be available, but joining will require you to be a registered (virtual or in-person) ISMB/ECCB participant.
