Jefferies is a gold sponsor of the Open Source Business Conference (OSBC). OSBC is the industry's only forum for senior business leaders, C-level technical strategists, lawyers and venture capitalists to collaborate on emerging business models, strategies and profitability for open source software use. OSBC explores the legal, investment, vendor and customer risks, rewards and opportunities presented by open source software. The program will provide content-rich sessions from well-known thought leaders and industry executives on how open source technology is being used and to investigate the business implications of this technology.
Jefferies will moderate a panel entitled "How Big is the Exit? What is an Open Source Business Worth in 2007 and Beyond?" This panel will focus on the valuation of open source businesses in both the public market and in acquisition contexts and will bring together the perspective of senior executives in Investment Banking, Venture Capital, Corporate Acquirers, and Operating Open Source businesses.
