Intimate by design, the Executive Briefing is more about conversation than formal presentation, giving you the chance to meet these passionate, smart, wildly innovative people, who will share their ideas and experiences. You'll come away from the day inspired, energized and ready to apply what you've absorbed to your own business. Experts, visionaries, open source professionals, sys admins, developers, and hackers in the trenches will meet and mingle in OSCON's hallways, Expo Hall (filled with sponsors like Autodesk, Novell, Google, Intel, New York Times, Sun, Microsoft, Optaros, IBM, and Ingres), and fun evening events. As Matt Asay of Infoworld remarked at last year's conference, there's "no better place on this earth to find out how to use all the cool new open source projects, and to see what's coming next."
