Delivering a Secure and Sustainable Tomorrow
Monday, October 30 - Tuesday, October 31
The Open Group Houston Summit is set to welcome distinguished experts, esteemed government officials, visionary industry leaders, and experienced practitioners in the fields of digital sustainability and cybersecurity, to exchange invaluable experiences and profound knowledge in efforts to deliver a sustainable and secure tomorrow.

Key Conference Tracks will Include:

EA for Sustainability

The Digital Enterprise

Information Technology plays a crucial role in enabling a secure and sustainable tomorrow by leveraging technology to address existing and emerging global challenges. These sessions will focus on some key aspects of IT Sustainability and Cybersecurity and how they are interdependent in achieving this future.

The interconnection between Cybersecurity and Sustainability is evident in many areas of technology development:

Data Security for Sustainable Solutions: Sustainable initiatives for data analytics and IoT devices to optimize resource usage and minimize waste
Protection of Critical Infrastructure: Sustainable infrastructure and interconnected digital systems, and ensuring security against cyber threats
Environmental Impact of Cybersecurity: Balancing security needs with energy efficiency and environmental impact

Supply Chain Security Roundtable
Wednesday, November 1 - Thursday, November 2
Join The Open Group Open Trusted Technology Forum (OTTF) in their Supply Chain Security Roundtable Event to learn more about current best practices for supply chain security and to actively contribute to discussions that will enhance the Open Trusted Technology Provider™ Standard (O-TTPS).

Sessions on Wednesday, November 1 will focus on addressing current requirements detailed in the O-TTPS and ways that organizations have implemented and benefited from them. Presentations will also detail best practices around cyber supply chain security and business continuity management in the supply chain from both industry and government speakers.

Sessions on Thursday, November 2, will feature structured discussions informed by a survey of public and private organizations; learnings from these discussions will feed into enhancements of the O-TTPS.

Workshop: Introduction to the O-PAS™ Standard for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Companies [no fee session]
Wednesday, November 1, A.M.
The Open Process Automation™ Forum (OPAF) is developing a “Standard of Standards” for an open, interoperable, and secure process automation architecture (The O-PAS™ standard). This session is a tailored introduction to The O-PAS™ standard, for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Companies. The O-PAS™ Standard defines a Reference Architecture and Information Model to enable interoperability within a heterogeneous distributed control system. Through adoption of the standard, end-users gain more freedom when managing obsolescence within systems. Participants in the session will gain insight into the practical implementation of The O-PAS™ standard and ways to deliver value to customers.

Workshop: Data Science Workshop [no fee session]
Wednesday, November 1, P.M.
The Data Science Virtual Workshop, "An Experiential Journey with Data to inspire Your Work", will make you think differently about data and how it can solve problems! This workshop includes surprising use cases that will make you think differently about data, sometime laugh, and hopefully inspire your own work to discover actionable insights in the mounds of data available.
