Innovation is the groundwork of technological advancement. It constantly reshapes the way we live and work. At the forefront of this progress is open source technology, acting as a catalyst in promoting collaboration, ingenuity and accessibility. Through open source, communities build on each other’s ideas and pioneer novel solutions. Specifically, it empowers developers, innovators, and enterprises to openly work together and accelerate development while driving down cost. Through this collaborative approach, the tech industry has seen numerous transformative advancements in the field with artificial intelligence being one of the hottest trends in the global tech scene.

Recognizing this transformative potential of open source, the Samsung Open Source Conference (SOSCON) has become one of the cornerstones in championing open source innovation. First held in Korea back in 2014, SOSCON has continued to be a key platform for software developers, students, and tech communities to come together and exchange knowledge and experiences with the latest open source technology.

Over the years, SOSCON has grown in both scope and influence. In an effort to tailor the discussions of open source developments to each region, SOSCON was held for the first time in the Philippines in 2022. The relegation became a significant milestone and presented the growing value of open source technology in Southeast Asia. Since then, SOSCON PH has continued to provide a platform for the Filipino tech community to discuss the latest open source technologies.

Building on the success of its debut, SOSCON PH 2024 is slated to be even more impactful than ever. With this year’s theme being “Weaving Tomorrow’s Techscape,” the event strives to give Filipinos the opportunity to discuss the latest open source developments and network with the Filipino tech community. Speakers and partners all come from various backgrounds including those from the ranks of SRPH engineers, non-government organizations, and the academe. At its core, SOSCON PH 2024 is more than just a conference—it is a celebration of the open source movement. By actively participating in the talks and networking with fellow enthusiasts, attendees become a part of a community that is committed to boundless innovation. So come and join the initiative—learn cutting-edge tech, share your expertise, and network with visionaries. Whether you are a seasoned professional or a curious beginner, SOSCON PH 2024 promises an experience that will inspire, educate, and connect you in weaving tomorrow’s technology.
