The 2019 Nexus User Conference Is Almost Here

Written by Janie Gelfond | June 07, 2019

Next week, on June 12, we're hosting our second annual Nexus User Conference, and we can't wait to share everything we have planned with you. Just like last year, the event is free, live and online. As a company that believes in the power of open source, we've effectively open sourced the conference to bring our entire community together, rather than divide it by those without budget or convenient geolocation.

We talk about this as the "un-conference," meaning a free, open, and social environment for people to exchange ideas, have conversations and ask questions. With so many amazing stories from Sonatype customers, we wanted to ensure that everyone in our community has the same access to learn and share, and we believe the un-conference is the way to do that.

This year's lineup is second to none. We have many familiar faces back from the Sonatype team to share what the future of the Sonatype Platform will look like, as well as new tips and tricks to make using it even easier. We've also invited incredible speakers from TD Bank, Discover, American Express, BJ's Wholesale Club, Tomitribe, and more to share their DevOps and DevSecOps transformation stories.

I'm excited to hear keynote speaker Allan Friedman from the US Dept. of Commerce, NTIA, talk about the importance of the software bill of materials (SBOM) - something we're passionate about here at Sonatype.

If I haven't convinced you yet, look back at the sessions we had last year to give you an idea of what the un-conference is like and why you won't want to miss it.

You can register for the Nexus User Conference, as well as the full list of speakers and sessions here.

Looking forward to seeing you all there.
