Open Core Summit

Over the past three decades, open-source shattered the proprietary software business model with what appeared to be an unstoppable force. Recent history has seen some cloud providers asserting their market power at the expense of open-source vendors, while others have embraced the vendors as commercial partners. Meanwhile, edge computing and IoT are gaining steam, changing the dynamics yet again.

Kelly Herrell, CEO of Hazelcast, has 20 years of experience driving open-source companies with multiple exits. His talk covers the transformations of open-source commercial models and discusses emerging dynamics and how they could again drive transformations within the business of open-source.
