Open Source Summit continues to focus on covering the most critical topics, innovative technologies and pivotal open source projects as the premier event for the open source community.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 19, 2022 —  The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, has announced that SupplyChainSecurityCon, an event launched last fall at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America, will be hosted in 2022 as part of Open Source Summit North America, June 21-24, in Austin, TX and virtual.

Open Source Summit is the premier event for open source developers, technologists, and community leaders to collaborate, share information, solve problems, and gain knowledge, furthering open source innovation and ensuring a sustainable open source ecosystem.

Co-hosted by CNCF and OpenSSF, along with The Linux Foundation, SupplyChainSecurityCon will gather security practitioners, open source developers, and others interested in software supply chain security to explore the security threats affecting the software supply chain, share best practices and mitigation tactics, and increase knowledge about how to best secure open source software.  

SupplyChainSecurityCon will be one of thirteen events held under the Open Source Summit North America 2022 umbrella.
