Where You'll Find OpenFn This Q4: From Kigali to Cape Town
The OpenFn team is hitting the road (and the skies) to connect with partners, share insights on workflow automation and Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), and learn from the global community working to strengthen health systems, enable interoperability, and scale social impact through technology.
If you're attending any of these events or based in these cities, we'd love to connect. Here's where you'll find us over the next three months.
October: A Focus on Health Innovation and Mobile Technology
Africa Health Tech Summit
October 13-15 | Kigali, Rwanda
We're starting the quarter in Kigali at one of Africa's premier digital health gatherings. We'll be exploring how workflow automation enables real-time data exchange between health information systems. Get in touch with Jack if you want to meet us there!
Mobile World Congress Kigali
October 21-23 | Kigali, Rwanda
We're connecting with mobile industry leaders, government officials, and operators like MTN and Huawei to discuss how mobile technology powers government-to-person payments and essential services. Get in touch with Jack if you want to meet us there!
NetHope Global Summit
October 27-29 | Amsterdam, Netherlands
We're heading to Amsterdam for NetHope's annual gathering of international NGOs and technology partners working to enable humanitarian services worldwide. Get in touch with Jack if you want to meet us there!
DHIS2 Immunization Webinar Series
October 29 | Online
We'll wrap up October with an online session sharing insights on how OpenFn enables data exchange with DHIS2, one of the world's most widely used health information systems. Sign up to come along here!
November: Digital Public Infrastructure Takes Center Stage
Global DPI Summit
November 4-6 | Cape Town, South Africa
The Global DPI Summit in Cape Town is a cornerstone event for us. As a recognized Digital Public Good and a building block for DPI, OpenFn plays a critical role in helping governments build the data exchange infrastructure they need to deliver digital services to their citizens. This summit brings together government leaders, DPI architects, and technology providers working to create interoperable, scalable public infrastructure.
We'll be discussing how OpenFn supports government DPI strategies, enables standards compliance (from FHIR in healthcare to GovStack specifications), and provides the workflow automation backbone that connects critical systems across ministries and service delivery channels. Get in touch with Jack if you want to meet us there!
DPGA Annual Members Meeting
November 24-26 | Brasília, Brazil
Later in the month, we're heading to Brazil for the Digital Public Goods Alliance Annual Members Meeting. As an active member of the DPGA community, we're committed to advancing the open source ecosystem that supports sustainable development goals. This gathering offers direct engagement with fellow DPG stewards, funders, and organizations building with Digital Public Goods to create more equitable access to essential services. Get in touch with Taylor if you want to meet us there!
December: Closing the Year in Nairobi
Global Digital Health Forum
December 3-5 | Nairobi, Kenya
We're closing out 2025 at the Global Digital Health Forum in Nairobi, a major gathering for the digital health community in Africa. This forum provides an opportunity to reflect on the year's progress in health system strengthening, share learnings from implementations across the continent, and set the agenda for continued innovation in 2026. Get in touch with Derek if you want to meet us there!
Why These Events Matter
This Q4 lineup reflects our strategic priorities for 2025 and beyond. You'll notice a strong emphasis on three key areas:
- Government and DPI: Events like the Global DPI Summit and the DPGA meeting align with our focus on supporting government partners who are building national digital infrastructure. As countries invest in DPI, they need reliable, open source tools that enable data exchange across systems without creating vendor lock-in.
- Healthcare and Digital Health: From the Africa Health Tech Summit to GDHF, we're maintaining our strong presence in the digital health space where OpenFn has enabled critical integrations for immunization programs, case management systems, supply chain logistics, and more.
- Mobile Technology and Financial Inclusion: MWC Kigali highlights the intersection of mobile technology, financial services, and government service delivery, where OpenFn's ability to connect mobile money platforms with government systems enables efficient, transparent payment processes.
