Official Apache global conference series to be held virtually for second year, featuring 140+ sessions, and keynotes from GitHub, NYU and Open Source Hardware Association, Red Hat, and the Wilson Center.
The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 350 Open Source projects and initiatives, announced keynotes, sponsors, and program for ApacheCon@Home, taking place online 21-23 September 2021. Registration is open and free for all attendees.
“With dozens of compelling talks on the latest Apache innovations, presented by noted community experts and supported by an impressive roster of sponsors, we expect a record turnout of attendees,” said Ruth Suehle, ASF Executive Vice President and ApacheCon@Home co-Chair. “We’re excited to enable participants to join us at their own convenience online and to build on the success of last year’s inaugural ApacheCon@Home, with nearly 3,500 attendees.”

ApacheCon is the ASF’s official global conference series, first held in 1998. ApacheCon draws attendees from more than 130 countries to experience “Tomorrow’s Technology Today” independent of business interests, corporate biases, or sales pitches.
ApacheCon showcases the latest breakthroughs from dozens of Apache projects, with content selected entirely by Apache projects and their communities. ApacheCon@Home joins ApacheCon Asia, which took place online 6-8 August, to meet the educational demands of the growing Apache community of developers, users, and enthusiasts worldwide.
“The ApacheCon@Home format has been a game changer by letting many members of the Apache community experience ApacheCon for the first time —all from the comfort of their homes or any location,” said Rich Bowen, Vice President of Conferences at the ASF. “We continue to grow and evolve our events to enable participants from around the globe to experience the full event as it happens, and interact with community members and sponsors in real-time. Post-event session recordings enable thousands to enjoy ApacheCon year-round.”
