The future is written with Qt
In addition to the keynote speeches, Qt World Summit 2016 will offer a wide range of sessions covering everything from technology strategy and product lifecycle management (PLM) to in-depth technical talks, best practices and live coding sessions – all presented by Qt developers and industry experts from all around the world. There will be five tracks covering the automotive industry, medical, and the Internet of Things (IoT) among others. Participants will also be able to experience first-hand product demos and presentations in the Qt Garage.
Additionally, participants will catch the latest details about the upcoming 5.8 release and the much-anticipated Qt Lite Project – which allows developers to embrace the opportunities The Internet of Things is bringing by targeting a wider range of hardware platforms than ever before with Qt.
