“The ELC/OpenIoT Summit brought together all of the critical participants in two deeply connected ecosystems - the embedded systems that run on devices and the frameworks that connect those devices. It is a small community of the brightest minds talking openly and sharing ideas. We found being there invaluable.”

NOAH HARLAN, FOUNDER, TWO BULLS

The new OpenIoT Summit - introduced in 2016 - is the first event of its kind, bringing together embedded developers, application developers, systems architects and firmware developers to learn, share and advance the technical work required for the future of IoT.

Unlike existing IoT events, IoT Summit is for technologists, by technologists. Experts from the world’s leading companies and most important open source projects will present the information you need to lead successful IoT developments so that you can bring smart connected products and solutions to market.

OpenIoT Summit is the only IoT event focused on the development of IoT solutions. OpenIoT Summit is a technical event created to serve the unique needs of system architects, firmware developers, software developers and application developers in this emerging IoT ecosystem.


“ELC/OpenIOT Summit was one of the most exciting conferences I’ve been to in recent years, there were far too many interesting talks for me to attend all I wanted

and it was a great opportunity to connect with people in the community.”MARK BROWN, KERNEL WORKING GROUP

TECHNICAL LEAD, LINARO

Embedded Linux Conference (ELC) has been the premier vendor-neutral technical conference for the past 13 years for companies and developers using Linux in embedded products.

After a decade of collaboration, the conference extended its scope to include user-space developers - the people building applications on embedded Linux - and has become the preeminent space for product vendors as well as kernel and systems developers to collaborate with these influential technologists.

Who Attends:

� Kernel Developers and System Developers � User Space Developers � Product Vendors � System Architects � Firmware Developers � Software Developers � Application Developers

Over 800 participants will attend in 2017.

It’s well established that leading companies are using open source strategically to power their business. Smart companies realize that to gain a competitive advantage they must influence and learn directly from the open source maintainers, developers and IT managers who are steering the projects being used to create today’s most innovative commercial products and services.

Linux Foundation events are the only place where the world’s leading maintainers, developers and practitioners across all of the most important open source software projects meet. From the enterprise to networking, embedded, IoT and cloud infrastructure, among others, Linux Foundation events are the best place to identify software trends early and inform future technology investments. They’re also the ripest recruiting grounds in today’s technology landscape.

Visibility within the open source community is one of the best ways to advance your open source development work through connection with sophisticated users who are evaluating and buying the next generation of infrastructure, big data or cloud technology.

If you want to influence, learn from or recruit these maintainers and developers, or reach the IT managers, cloud architects, network architects, infrastructure managers or administrators, Linux Foundation events are a must-attend and must sponsor.
