Brussels Open Tech Week 2024

*Brussels is a hub of open technology and digital policy discussions as of late. OFE organises the EU Open Source Policy Summit on 2 February, but the main momentum for this week comes from the renowned Free and Open Source Software Developers’ European Meeting (FOSDEM), a fixture in Brussels that has engendered an ever increasing number of ancillary activities and events. Open Forum Europe’s team and partners will participate in various capacities throughout the week, whether as speakers or as attendees absorbing knowledge and insights.*

So, while we make no claims of being the organisers of everything below, we feel like an umbrella term is needed. So mark your calendars: *The Brussels Open Tech Week 2024* from 31 January to 5 February. It promises to be an eventful week for all enthusiasts and professionals engaged in the open tech landscape and EU policy.

*31 January – Wednesday*

*Antitrust, Regulation, and the Next World Order*

The digital regulation experiment has started. But we are also going through simultaneous major paradigm shifts in antitrust, industrial policy and trade. Competition is not a silo. Join us for a gathering of top regulators, judges, legislators and academics to discuss challenges and goals.

*1 February – Thursday*

*OFE Policy Workshop* An invite-only session that delves into the policy challenges and opportunities within the open tech realm. To partake in this workshop, please contact Ciarán at OFE for an invitation.

*EU Open Source Policy Summit*

Our event largest assembly of policymakers, Open Source businesses, community members, developers, foundations, and experts engaged in diverse digital policy matters. Registration is currently open for those interested in attending. Seats are limited!
