In 2023, the conference was hosted at KLU in Hamburg's HafenCity, bringing together more than 100 researchers from all around the world, including Harvard Business School, MIT Sloan School of Management, RWTH Aachen University, University Innsbruck and many more.

Next year's conference will be hosted at Harvard Business School in Boston, Massachusetts.

The International Open and User Innovation (OUI) Conference is the leading academic conference on user innovation and open innovation, two closely related paradigms that have changed our thinking about the organization of innovation over the last decades.

Organized by the Open and User Innovation Society since 2002, the OUI Conference brings together researchers from around the world to discuss recent research on open and user innovation, innovation toolkits, innovation communities, crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, open source software and open hardware, user-producer collaboration, innovation platforms and ecosystems, user entrepreneurship, open innovation policies, and related topics.

The community of scholars meeting at OUI is characterized by a very open, developmental academic culture sharing plenty of feedback and ideas. The conference mainly targets an academic audience of faculty, senior researchers, and PhD students, but is also open to policy makers interested in open and user innovation.

OUI is multi-disciplinary and covers disciplines such as innovation management, strategic management, organization design, marketing, entrepreneurship, and public policy, but also healthcare, psychology, law and industrial engineering.
