Why CPOSC? Technology is evolving with unprecedented speed, which means it's more important than ever for those on the front lines of tech to gather, converse and share their experiences. CPOSC offers technologists passionate about open source technologies that very opportunity through presentations, panel discussions, lightning talks, informal designated conversation topic areas, and more.

Why Downtown Lancaster? As Downtown Lancaster's arts, music, and dining scenes have garnered national recognition over the past decade, we firmly believe that the Lancaster tech scene is in the midst of its own big boom. By moving downtown beginning in 2016, we wanted CPOSC to be at the center of this tech explosion. As a bonus, it's an easy walk from the Ware Center to the CPOSC After Party at Tellus360!
