The Open Horizons Symposium 2026 is presented by Campus Manitoba, the University of Manitoba, Red River College Polytechnic, and the University of Winnipeg.
The event website and registration form are developed and operated by Campus Manitoba, while Brandon University provides web hosting and financial administration for registrations.
