+## Join us at OCX 2026 in Brussels
+
+We’re excited to share that the Bndtools team will be presenting at Open Community Experience 2026 next week in Brussels.
+OCX is the Eclipse Foundation’s flagship open source conference, bringing together developers, architects, researchers, and industry leaders for three days of collaboration and technical exchange ([newsroom.eclipse.org][1]).
+
+### Our session Bndtools 7.2.0 and Beyond

+In our session (23 April 2026 14:00-14:15 CET) covers the latest improvements in bndtools / bnd which happened during the last two years since our last presentation:
+- Java 24/25/26 support
+- Smarter bnd analysis & tooling
+- New Eclipse + CLI workflows
+- A first look at 7.3.0
+

+### Why OCX?
+
+OCX 2026 features around 150 sessions across multiple tracks—including tooling, AI, automotive, compliance, and research—making it a key meeting point for the European open source ecosystem ([newsroom.eclipse.org][1]).

+
+See you in Brussels!
