The BoS Difference

Business of Software Conference is a multi-day single-track conference for founders, CXOs, and emerging leaders in software companies from around the world.

“The intimacy leads itself to more vulnerable conversations.”
Hersh Tapadia, Founder & CEO, AllStacks

You can share your open and honest challenges and triumphs that come with building great software and great software companies.

Every talk you hear is from an entrepreneur or expert in their field. BoS talks are renowned for their quality (judge for yourself – our vast library of talks is available here).

You’re with other incredible software people from around the world. The things you’ll learn from other attendees will be as important as the things you learn in the sessions and we limit attendance so conversations are relaxed and the atmosphere friendly and collaborative.

Your time is spent with the expert speakers. Not only is there ample time for Q&A after each session, the speakers stay for the conference – meaning you can grab them for a chat afterwards. You’re as likely to sit next to a speaker at lunch than anyone else.

You don’t worry about missing the killer talk – the conference is single-track. At breakfast and lunch, you can choose who you sit with, what you want to talk about, and bond over what y’all have in common. There are also round table discussions and meet the speaker sessions to dig into ideas in more depth, or ask the question you didn’t get to ask with in front of an audience.

My favourite conference

Software people of the world: If you haven’t been to a Business of Software Conference, you should go. If you have already been, I don’t need to convince you. You already know.
