Posit PBC, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, founded in 2009, operates with approximately 370 employees, specializing in software development as an open-source data science company.
On February 18, 2026, Posit announced it would provide 40 Opportunity Scholarships for individuals to attend posit::conf(2026) in Houston, TX, aiming to make its annual conference more accessible and foster a diverse range of perspectives. Earlier the same day, the company released its February 2026 `posit::glimpse()` newsletter, confirming that registration for posit::conf(2026) is open for the event scheduled from September 14–16, available both in Houston and online. This newsletter, which highlighted updates since September 2025, will now transition to a monthly publication. Previously, on February 17, Posit enabled custom domains in Connect Cloud, allowing users to deliver client analytics with branded URLs, thus presenting a more professional appearance for shared data science insights than the standard `share.connect.posit.cloud` address.
