The event will offer two days of high-level technical presentations around open source middleware technologies and generic applications. This will be a unique opportunity for attendees and sponsors of the event to meet with peers and network with the international open source community at large.

The program includes technical and business presentations, all sessions will take place in English language. Parallel sessions (BoFs, side events, third parties projects) will complete the program. Among the main novelties that will be included in the OW2Con 2011 program, the "SQUAT" project (Software Quality Assurance and Trustworthiness) is a major one.
