Following on the success of the 2018 OX Summits and a varied event schedule, we plan to continue the momentum into the first part of 2019 with a number of exciting events. Among the highlights we kick-off the year at the Univention Summit in Bremen and then move on to Brussels for FOSDEM, Spain for MWC, Rust in Germany for CloudFest and finish up with our US Summit in Louisville, in April.
Besides these events and our own OX Summits in the US and Europe, we’ll be participating in various IT and open source industry events and venues. Here's where you can meet us in the first part of 2019:
Univention Summit 2019 - January 31 - February 1, Bremen, Germany
The Univention Summit is Germany‘s open source Hotspot of the year. On January 31, approximately 350 IT innovators from the business, administration and education sector will meet with software manufacturers and IT service providers in Bremen to exchange experiences. The varied agenda offers workshops, keynotes, a technician bar camp and an exhibition with around 25 IT solution providers. Under the slogan "Use your Identities,” the Summit 2019 will focus on how organizations can retain sovereignty over their digital identities and use them for their own innovation and business models, instead of leaving them to some large international enterprises. Collaborate with us to explore how we can ensure control, transparency and competition in digitization over the long term.
FOSDEM 2019 – February 2 – 3, Brussels, Belgium
