OSGeo runs an annual international conference called [http://foss4g.org FOSS4G] – Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial. Starting as early as 2006, this event has drawn over 1100 attendees (2017 Boston) and the tendency is to increase this number every year. It is the main meeting place and educational outreach opportunity for OSGeo members, supporters and newcomers - to share and learn from one another in presentations, hands-on workshops and a conference exhibition. The FOSS4G ribbon, part of every FOSS4G event logo, symbolizes the flow of ideas, innovation, and sharing within the Open Source geospatial community. The event history dates back to an important face-to-face meeting of the 3 original founders of the event (Venkatesh Raghavan, Markus Neteler, and Jeff McKenna), who met initially in Bangkok Thailand in 2004, and planned to create a new annual event for the whole Open Source geospatial community, with the event named "[[FOSS4G]]"; the event would go on to help change the history of the geospatial industry.

There are also many regional and local events following this [[FOSS4G]] philosophy. <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.osgeo.org/events/ |title=OSGeo Events |publisher=osgeo.org }}</ref>
