Announcing ODSC West and APAC 2023
ODSC East may be over, but we still have conferences coming up this summer and Fall. In particular, we are excited to announce that passes for both ODSC West 2023 and ODSC APAC 2023 are now on sale. Below you’ll find more information on each.
ODSC West 2023
The biggest change coming to ODSC West this year is that the conference is now 4 days instead of 3. We’ll be setting up at Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport from October 31st to November 3rd for 4 days of hands-on training sessions, workshops, talks, and networking events. And for those who aren’t able to travel to San Francisco, we’ll be hosting a co-current virtual conference as well.
We’re still working on our lineup, but you can be sure that our expert speakers will be of the caliber you’ve come to expect. Check out our keynote speakers from last year.
