What is Business of Software Conference?

Short video summary of their most recent conference, BoS Conf Europe 2024

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

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 – with something valuable to say. 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.

  • All related Georgian programming and events 
  • Pre-registration drinks and nibbles at Marriott City Center on Sunday
  • Full access to BoS Conference at the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts
