9 North America North America February 21-23, 2017 Hilton Portland, Portland, OR Embedded Linux Conference (ELC) has been the premier vendor-neutral technical conference for the past 13 years for companies and developers using Linux in embedded products. After a decade of collaboration, the conference extended its scope to include user-space developers - the people building applications on embedded Linux - and has become the preeminent space for product vendors as well as kernel and systems developers to collaborate with these influential technologists. Who Attends: Kernel Developers and System Developers User Space Developers Product Vendors System Architects Firmware Developers Software Developers Application Developers The new OpenIoT Summit - introduced in is the first event of its kind, bringing together embedded developers, application developers, systems architects and firmware developers to learn, share and advance the technical work required for the future of IoT. Unlike existing IoT events, IoT Summit is for technologists, by technologists. Experts from the world s leading companies and most important open source projects will present the information you need to lead successful IoT developments so that you can bring smart connected products and solutions to market.
