The OPC UA opportunities for facilitating OPC UA adoption continue, this time in Europe, Germany to be precise.
Looking to start developing OPC UA products? Then the European session of the highly popular OPC UA Developers Conference and Workshop, slated for October 27-31 in Munich, Germany is the place to be. The week long event is really two separate focuses. The first two days is the Developer Conference, which is more of a higher level overview of what is OPC UA and it’s current state. Limit 95 participants. The following three-day Developer Workshop is really a training event targeted specifically for product developers. The first day covers the details of OPC UA and the next two full days of specific instructions using either C++ / ANSCI C or .NET programming. This is course is hands-on development on building OPC UA servers and clients. The workshop is limited to 25 participants per track (50 total) and attendance will be on a first-come, first-served basis. With OPC UA in high gear and the next round of Released specifications and updated codebase due in mid-August, the rush will be on. Don’t delay and get registered now. The deadline is Oct 10th, but I suspect it will fill long before then. For full details on pricing, hotels, etc go here.
For those on this side of the pond looking to find out what OPC is all about, the fall sessions of the OPC Foundation Roadshows are starting up soon. The next session is in Milwaukee, WI on September 4th. Details and registration here. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again these events are a great opportunity to learn about OPC, how to use the technology and best practices for implementing, as well as a chance to talk with industry experts from the numerous vendor sponsors.
Lots of things happening on the OPC UA front. More updates on to the OPC UA SDK, sample code and other redistributables. You can find the latest downloads here.
