Open for Business is an an annual one day conference hosted by the BCS Open Source Specialist Group and Open Source Consortium, that aims to explore key themes in open source software as they relate to service providers and consumers, across both the private and public sectors.
In 2016 the conference will build on the success of the inaugural event held the previous year — which took a look at some of the broader challenges and opportunities, with first-hand experiences — to dive deeper and consider best practices in driving effective open source adoption.
Once again we have some fantastic speakers line-up that bring many unique insights, including Mike Little, co-founder of WordPress, and Maarten Ectors, Vice President IoT at Canonical, with more to be confirmed and the full schedule to be published over the coming weeks.
As a result of popular demand from delegates at Open for Business 2015, this year we will be hosting a series of clinic sessions over the course of an extended lunch break, where delegates will have the opportunity to interact with speakers and learn from their experiences.
