We are happy to announce that a business networking event, called Open 4 Business, will take place as part of the DORS/CLUC conference.

DORS/CLUC is a community event, and we are not changing this. But, this community has been able to maintain DORS/CLUC going on for almost 30 years because we also do business. And we do business because of the value that free software and open source bring to the table.

So, there are a couple goals that Open 4 Business aims to achieve:

  • emphasize that free software and Linux people are also business people
  • provide a platform for making sustainable and open business happen
  • promote business collaboration between open source companies
  • promote business collaboration with open source projects
  • promote networking and collaboration between SMEs, freelancers and corporations to revitalize the people-hungry IT projects, by utilizing the value that open technologies provide.

Since this is a kick-off event, participation in the Open 4 Business this year is free, and we invite anyone that runs a business to join us and meet amazing people, especially those representing sponsors and partners of the conference!

Open 4 Business will be an awesome warmup for DORS/CLUC. So, commit to participating by registering, and we will publish the name of your company on the Open 4 Business page.

Take the next step, get tickets for DORS/CLUC and experience the amazing tech community event in it’s full glory.

What is Open 4 Business

Open 4 Business is an open source businesses’ networking event.

When

Open 4 Business will take place on the evening of the 10th of May, 18:00 – 20:00. That is the day before the conference program officially begins.

Where

Open 4 Business will happen in the “Black hall”. When entering from the main entrance, go all the way right, through a glass tunnel, right until you get to the DORS/CLUC registration desk. DORS/CLUC staff will put up signs to navigate you to the exact location, but you will also see people getting the rest of the conference ready. Ask for help if you get lost.

Check the map if you need help getting to the venue.

Open 4 Business’ goals

  • emphasize that free software and Linux people are also business people
  • provide a platform for making sustainable and open business happen
  • promote business collaboration with open source projects
  • promote networking and collaboration between SMEs, freelancers and corporations to revitalize the people-hungry IT projects, by utilizing the value that open technologies provide.

This event will be held as an integral part of DORS/CLUC 2023 and is intended for everyone who is interested in establishing new business contacts, finding new projects and exchanging ideas with other experts. 

Entry to the Open 4 business event will be available to all visitors participating in the conference as employees, owners or representatives of companies or their own trades, but also to other business-oriented visitors interested in networking.

Please note that those interested in pitching at the start of the Open 4 Business event will be chosen by priority: sponsors and DORS/CLUC visitors first, then everyone else, until we run out of pitch slots.
