About This Conference
Business of Software: Building Great Software Companies
The Business of Software (BoS) Conference has been running since 2007, making it one of the longest-standing events for people who build and run software companies. Founded by Neil Davidson and Mark Sherwood, BoS deliberately avoids vendor pitches and focuses on the craft of building sustainable, customer-focused software businesses. The curated, single-track format ensures every talk is high-quality and relevant.
Single-Track, No Sponsor Booths
BoS Conference is known for its distinctive format — a single track with no sponsor booths on the main floor, no breakout sessions, and no parallel tracks. Every attendee sees every talk, creating a shared intellectual experience that drives rich hallway conversations. The intimate size (200-300 attendees) means you meet speakers, exchange ideas, and build genuine relationships over the multi-day event.
Beyond SaaS: The Broader Software Business
Unlike conferences that focus exclusively on SaaS or venture-backed startups, BoS covers the broader software business landscape — including desktop software, marketplaces, developer tools, and content businesses. Speaker selection prioritizes depth and originality, often featuring behavioral economists, psychologists, and designers alongside successful founders. This interdisciplinary approach brings fresh perspectives to common business challenges.
