ABOUT THE OPEN WORLD FORUM
The Open World Forum is the world’s leading summit meeting bringing together decision-makers and communities to cross-fertilize free/Open Source technological, economic and social initiatives to build the digital future. Some 1,500 participants from at least 30 countries are expected to attend the third Open World Forum being staged in Paris on 30 September and 1 October 2010 under the theme: OPEN IS THE FUTURE - Open Innovation – Open Enterprise – Open Society. The aim of the event, seen as the ‘Davos’ of the open technology world, is to gather together all the key decision-makers and interested parties – technology experts, developers, CIOs and IT Directors, decision-makers, investors and politicians from all six continents – to evaluate possible trends and cross-fertilize growth initiatives around open IT.
This year’s theme, ‘OPEN IS THE FUTURE’, will be explored through plenary sessions, workshops, networking events and discussions focused on nine key concepts, organized into three main strands:
• OPEN INNOVATION: building the digital future, thanks to open innovation platforms, technology ecosystems and Cloud computing.
• OPEN ENTERPRISE: developing collaborative economic models, through networked organizations, open content and open information systems.
• OPEN SOCIETY: building a sustainable future, through inclusive government, the constitution of common good and digital inclusion.
A breeding ground for numerous initiatives Over and above the analysis of future trends and networking, the event is designed primarily to encourage the development of numerous cross-fertilized initiatives, either at the Forum itself or following on from it.
An international gathering of the major players in open technologies; the Open World Forum, itself a community event, will bring together all the main global communities and major players from the world of open technologies. The program committee includes some 50 international experts from all six continents. The Forum is overseen by a management structure which includes the main international technology communities. The Forum’s partners include 70% of the leading players from the IT world.
