The Source of an Open Future

IMPORTANT: You can only register for this event on Eventbrite, here: https://May25ETM.eventbrite.co.uk/

The open-source ecosystem has changed considerably in the last two years, especially due to strategic acquisitions of major players, fundamental alterations to key license frameworks, the impact of major cloud providers and the growth in GenAI code development.

The May Enterprise Tech Monthly event will bring together prominent executives from the European Open-Source ecosystem for a uniquely insightful discussion about the challenges and opportunities faced by the open-source movement, with the knock-on implications for longstanding dynamics between the community and enterprise software buyers.

We're privileged to announce Shay Bannon (CTO & Co-Founder of Elastic) as our guest speaker and he will be joined by an esteemed panel of industry experts, including:

• Gerald Pfeffer (CTO at SUSE)
• John O’Hara (Creator of AMQP, committer on Apache Qpid, Board of Adaptive)
• Paula Kennedy (COO of Syntasso and CNCF Ambassador)

These discussions will be moderated by Faraaz Samadi (Partner at Orrick).

In addition, there will be a community talk by Rimma Perelmuter of the FINOS Foundation and a series of flash talks by innovative companies.

Sincere thanks to London Stock Exchange Group for hosting the Enterprise Tech Monthly, to Elastic and SUSE as monthly sponsors and to all our annual sponsors for 2025.
