O'Reilly Open Source Convention



The open source community's annual gathering

Since 1999, the O’Reilly Open Source Convention has brought together talented people from diverse backgrounds who are doing amazing things with open source technologies. We share new techniques and approaches, proven best practices, and practical skills. No matter what your technical experience level, you’ll learn from the useful stories and hard-won experience delivered by our talented and expert speakers.

 

Open source is now found everywhere—from the bottom of the programming stack to the very top—so we're focusing on these topics as a means to consider and solve critical, real-world problems:

Join us May 8–11 at the Austin Convention Center in Austin, TX for OSCON 2017. Learn how open source can be a strategic business advantage, master specific tools and technologies, and even become a contributor to open source projects.

 

There's no event quite like OSCON—the best place on Earth to sharpen your skills and discover new techniques, making you better at what you do and igniting your love of all things digital.

 

Take a look at the schedule and start making your plans today. Need help convincing your manager? We've got you covered.

Open source training courses

Immerse yourself in two days of in-depth education on critical topics. Each training course takes place May 8–9 and is limited in size to maintain a high level of learning and instructor interaction.

Why Attend?

Open source has penetrated every aspect of business, ecommerce, education, and the Web. But open source doesn't mean free and easy—you have licensing compliance to understand, you need to know which technologies work well with each other, and how the open source projects you use are supported and by whom. In four information-packed days (and nights) OSCON gives you the tools you need to succeed:

  • Learn techniques you can use to write great code
  • Discover the advantages of using code that you can get your hands on, instead of wondering what other people have built into it, and for what purposes
  • Find out how to migrate from expensive commercial installations to more efficient, cost-effective open source solutions
  • Explore innovations in system and network administration that your company can start using immediately to increase efficiency
  • Learn how to ensure that your code is really secure—don't take someone else's word for it
  • Master essential techniques and advanced tips to scale and optimize your systems for trouble-free, time-saving performance
  • Learn how to increase productivity and lower the cost of deployment, from databases to cloud computing
  • Hear about to the most promising new projects, services, languages and tools
  • Receive hype-free guidance to help your business build a solid footing for future success
