Progress is impossible without change…
With a new date, new venue, and an extended new agenda with even more Hot Labs and business sessions, there will be many new features to the Open Horizons Summit 2018. But don’t worry, not everything will change. Many of the conference elements appreciated by participants in previous years will remain at this year’s Open Horizons Summit.
Knowledge transfer and networking opportunities – two guiding principles of the OH Community – are still the core of this technical conference.
