You Do Not Want to Miss WSO2Con North America, July 16–18 in San Francisco

  • Tyler Jewell
  • CEO - WSO2

“This year is going to be the biggest, baddest, most monstrous year yet for our conference. Do not miss out!”

Each year, vendors around the world who host their own conferences make identical claims. With promises of special locations, intriguing speakers, and networking with food (and delightfully intoxicating substances), commercial events turn into rigmarole.

Not this year. Not this conference.

WSO2’s North American conference is going to be a doozy. If you are a developer, architect, integration specialist, partner, CIO, CTO, or CDO, we want to see you at this event as we unveil the next phase of our company, our technology, and our growth.

For the first time, we are hosting three events:

  1. WSO2Con: see us unveil our vision for how digital transformation is evolving and how we will help every organization become integration agile.
  2. WSO2Con Partner Day: our partner ranks have ballooned and our partners generate nearly $250M annually as part of the WSO2 ecosystem. We are hosting a business day dedicated to exploring collaborative opportunities to build markets together. We’ll be unveiling new channel programs, how resellers will shape future integration sales, introduce the global channel team that joined this year, and our investment plan that will help you build annuity and profit streams from our field collaboration.
  3. BallerinaCon: Ballerina is a programming language that makes it ridiculously easy to write microservices that integrate APIs. We are lucky and excited to co-host this first-time event with the language designers and the San Francisco Ballet. Ballerina is gaining global adoption and your experience will have you agree with why Google’s Kelsey Hightower called it “the dopest thing” and Redmonk’s James Governor declared Ballerina “the belle of the Kubecon ball. ”

These events are happening at a time where WSO2 has become the largest open source integration vendor. Integration is suddenly the hottest thing in enterprise software, and that is propelling tremendous growth for us. We are reinvesting all of our gains back into the business, and at the conference we’ll be announcing important software, services and solutions designed to make it easier for any organization to become integration agile.

We’ve become increasingly concerned that as architectures continue to disaggregate due to the drive to scale to support customer demand, those architectures have required organizations to support center-of-excellence integration approaches which impose waterfall constraints and limited agility. We will make sure that this doesn’t happen to you, and in my keynote we’ll be unveiling:

  1. Our agility strategy for organizations of any size, through the presentation of a new reference architecture for agility and agility methodology, including the introduction of cell-based architectures and philosophies to make the composable enterprise as agile as a microservice.
  2. How microservices will pervade all of our products giving you new forms of micro deployments, management and runtimes so that enterprise architecture can increasingly be delegated and crowd sourced.
  3. Our serverless strategy, including how a special collaboration between our engineers and the Apache OpenWhisk community is going to give enterprises an agile approach to event-driven architecture without fearing data or platform lock-in from the megaclouds.
  4. Our commitment and commercial strategy unveiling for Ballerina, a cloud native programming language, which can augment your Java,.NET and JavaScript development by making agile development of microservices accessible to any enterprise.
  5. Substantial new business programs, including microservices-based pricing / packaging and Technical Account Management.
  6. Our territory and local influence expansion plans including our plans for new offices in Mexico, Germany, and other MEAP locations.
  7. New partner programs designed so that WSO2 can make substantial investments into our global partners so that they can create annuity and profit streams.

This is going to be an amazing event and an experience that should not be missed. Come join us and learn about why we believe that WSO2 is going to become the world’s largest integration vendor. Let our passion, excitement, and experience help guide you on your own integration journey. And let’s hope I don’t screw up my very important keynote.
