Apologies for cross-posting See who is speaking at ... What is Hype and What Has Value? Technological buzzword or industry innovation? (Open Source Technologies) Tuesday 5 February 2019 (first of three in a new webinar series) Online at 15:00-16:00 GMT (UK), 16:00-17:00 CET (Europe), 10:00-11:00 EST (New York) #alpsphype In a series of webinars during February, March and April we will look at three technologies in turn - Open Source, AI and Blockchain - in an attempt to separate the hype from the reality. We'll look at examples of where each is being used in our industry and assess its potential for positive change, as well as considering alternative strategies. Our first webinar will look at Open Source Technologies. We will hear from two speakers representing the commercial and not-for-profit sectors who will share the strategic drivers behind their choice for open source, whilst the third will discuss why his organization has opted for proprietary code.
