The LinuxWorld Conference and Expo comes to SA next year for the first time and will be presented alongside Futurex by Exhibitions for Africa, which has been granted the licence.
"LinuxWorld Conference and Expo and Futurex will be co-located, which means they will take place at the same time and venue in both Johannesburg and Cape Town," says Aldean Prior, Futurex director. "It also means that ticket-holders for each event will automatically gain entrance to the parallel event."
Nols de Wet, marketing director Obsidian Systems, says LinuxWorld will be a good opportunity to expose the South African market to all that Linux has offer.
"The event will also show the market that contrary to common perceptions, there is sufficient Linux and open source support available locally."
Futurex and LinuxWorld will take place at the Sandton Convention Centre from 17 to 21 May and at the Cape Town International Convention Centre from 14 to 17 September.
