Speak at OSCON

There's a reason industry legends come to the O’Reilly Open Source Software Conference to share their ideas. Some of those ideas have launched careers and collaborations—and sparked new ideas leading to some of the most innovative technologies in software development.

But we’re not looking for big names, we’re looking for big ideas. If you want to explore some of the most challenging issues that our industry faces today or share your rock-solid technical skills, business-tested use cases, detailed success stories (or tear-downs of failures), we want to hear from you.

Send us your best ideas by January 14, 2020, and you could share the stage with some of the brightest minds in software development. Get the details >

Depth

O’Reilly has a reputation for geekiness. We’ll own it. We know you don’t just want to hear about a technology–you want to roll up your sleeves and use it. We do, too. From deep-dive tutorials to practical keynotes, we have a relentless focus on the tools and techniques you can put to immediate use.

Breadth

Get a clear, vendor-neutral look at the tools, best practices, and processes you need to make solid decisions and deliver effective software. From emerging languages and frameworks to the cloud and AI–if it’s enabling advancements in software, it’s covered at OSCON.

Problem-solving

The most brilliant software can be hamstrung by the most mundane obstacles. At OSCON, you’ll get clear advice on how to avoid expensive and time-consuming bottlenecks, case studies to learn how others overcame the hurdles you face, and a chance to test-drive new tools. So you can focus on innovation, not irritation.

Community

Ever since the very first 1998 Freeware Summit (where the term open source was coined), O’Reilly has gathered this community to exchange ideas and build connections. You’ll meet the inventors and innovators–and the people who share your headaches and understand what rocks your world.

Diversity and inclusion at OSCON

At O’Reilly, we believe that true innovation depends on hearing from and engaging with people with a variety of perspectives. Read our Diversity Statement.

We're committed to creating a safe and productive conference environment. Please read our Code of Conduct.

Venue

The conference will take place at the Oregon Convention Center, a short light rail or streetcar ride away from top restaurants, tax-free shopping, and quirky attractions.
