BoSConf USA 2024: The Legacy Continues in Raleigh
For 18 years, BoS Conf USA has convened the sharpest minds in the software industry. Previously held in Silicon Valley and Boston, the conference’s 2023 move to Raleigh signified a powerful endorsement of the Research Triangle’s booming tech scene. This region is already home to established giants like SAS, Q2, and Qualtrics, alongside exciting startups like Pendo and Kevel.
“We have been delighted at the reception we received in bringing BoS Conf USA to Raleigh. Last year was the first year we had done so after moving from Boston and we intend to make it our long term home. The tech cluster in NC is on the rise, has a dynamic tech community, world-class universities, innovative startups and established tech giants. We’ve been blown away by the tech community, the friendliness of the people and the appetite for learning. NC has come a long way but the best years are ahead. We are delighted to play a part in helping the cluster grow by educating the region’s software entrepreneurs and connecting them with successful entrepreneurs from around the world to share ideas and learn from each other. ”

Board Chairman of CED Bill Spruill expresses his experience and aspirations in having BoS back in Raleigh
Local entrepreneur Allison Wood, CEO, DaVinci Education attended BoS Conf USA last year for the first time.
“I had always wanted to attend BoS and when I got the chance last fall, I jumped at it. What a terrific event! I loved the focus on a software CEO audience, because I knew these would be my people. The resources that were offered were fantastic, both the speakers and the takeaway value and connections. I’m thrilled that BoS is coming to Raleigh and can’t wait to see what kind of energy lights up in the Triangle as a result!”
Davinci Education CEO Allison Wood recalls her exciting experiences in BoS
“Growing a successful business is incredibly difficult, stressful, exciting, lonely, and rewarding. Over the years, I have had so many questions about product pricing, customer acquisition, payroll, finance, strategy, product development, venture capital, customer success, partnerships, and more. Creating a successful company takes a village and the combination of an awesome CED team and the BoS conference are parts of my village.”
Stern Security Founder & CEO Jon Sternstein shares his journey with CED and BoS
“I’ve been to over a dozen BoS Conferences and I’m not sure I could have sold PrecisionLender [for $510 million cash] without the things that I learned at BoS and from the BoS community. Bringing the conference to NC is a significant milestone for the community.”
