POSSCON 2010

Columbia, SC will be hosting POSSCON. Use the comments or message board here to organize rides. I suspect that I will be travelling down for the morning of the 16th.

Started in 2008, the Palmetto Open Source Software Conference (POSSCON) quickly grew in 2009 to an event with more than 200 attendees from four (4) states (South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida), twenty (20) speakers, and more than twenty private and government entity participants. In fact, POSSCON grew so fast in 2009 we've moved the 2010 conference to a new location - the Columbia Convention Center in the heart of Columbia, SC.

Extraordinary steps have been taken to ensure the 2010 event continues to grow and attract more attendees and participants. More nationally known speakers have been added to the agenda, additional partnerships with top media outlets have been formed to ensure nationwide awareness, an additional conference and rtaining day have been added to provide more content, a CIO/CTO Forum has been added to specifically target the managers who can benefit from OSS the most, and the new location is the very best available. For all these reasons, we expect interest and attendance to increase substantially.
