Look who is coming to OSBC

TAGS: Random

I just went through the attendee list for the Open Source Business Conference and loved what I saw. For the first time, OSBC is truly drawing a deep bench of IT buyers. It's something that we have strived for since the first show (well, the second, since the first show was intended to be a vendor strategy event), and which has finally happened.

We have CIOs/VPs/Directors from the following companies (and I won't even bother to go into all the CXOs/VPs we have from Red Hat, MySQL, Alfresco, Microsoft, MuleSource, JasperSoft, SugarCRM, OpenBravo, Loopfuse, Zmanda, XenSource, etc. etc. - this is the place to find out what's now and what's coming in open source):

B. M. Trading International
Boise Cascade
Lehman Brothers
Genealogical Society of Utah
Denali Oil & Gas
Bank of America
Sony Playstation Group
Barclays Global
Activision
Electronic Arts
H&R Block
SRI International
Ricoh
Vancouver Community College
Christian Science Monitor
Los Alamos National Laboratory
Golden Gate University
E*Trade
Leapfrog Enterprises
eBay
France Telecom
MIT
Nokia
Pacific Gas & Electric
Seagate Technology
Orange (Telecom)
Fisher Investments
Washington Post
Yahoo!
Google
SurfControl
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Federal Express
Nikon

And a range of others. I got tired of typing. What a great group of enterprise IT buyers! This will definitely be the best OSBC we've ever done. (Btw, if you're with an IT group and are having trouble swinging the attendance fee, let me know. I may be able to intervene with InfoWorld.)
