#OME2026 is coming to an end. It has been a truly welcoming, motivating, and inspiring experience full of intensive exchange and shaped by an exceptionally open and collaborative spirit.
Grateful for the many insightful discussions, new connections, and shared ideas.
Thank you!
In March, CCP-volumeEM hosted an OME-NGFF hackathon, bringing the community together to collaborate, share ideas and advance tools for volume electron microscopy. 🔬💻

#OME2026 has come to an end—what an inspiring and collaborative few days.
Huge thanks to @nfdi4bioimage.bsky.social for documenting the meeting so thoroughly—definitely worth a look back through their posts!
But first, enjoy the wrap-up video presented already during the closing session! 🤩
Member Eric Perlman takes the stage at @embl.org to announce our launch as an international worker co-op for #OSS scientific imaging software. First task supported by @biohub.org is accelerating #OMEZarr towards a 1.0 alpha early 2027. Stay tuned! image.coop
