Themes and Focus areas
As the theme for Qt World Summit 2017 suggests, the focus of the event will be on the future of software. Recently, Qt received a significant contribution from NVIDIA, and the Qt3D module has seen a lot of improvement. In line with this, we are emphasizing 3D graphics and user interfaces as one main area in our call for presentations.
In the past year Qt has seen strong growth in the automotive segment and embedded devices overall. We are also looking for presentations that dive into all the phases of an embedded devices’ life-cycle, and we would like to hear your views on how Qt is a part of the innovation happening across a variety of industries.
Qt is a cross platform framework, we are also excited about what you have to say about application development, a strong area for Qt. The tooling and SDK in Qt has always been an important part of our story, so that is included in the call.
Software ecosystems are still an important trend in development. Qt can be used to enable your ecosystem or as part of your SDK.
In addition, other areas of interest include automation systems, medical systems and multi-screen applications.
To summarize the above, we are calling for presentations on:
- Future of software with Qt
- 3D User interfaces and Graphics, including AR and VR
- Automotive solutions
- Application development and Qt enabling application ecosystems
- Tools, methods and processes for the embedded device life-cycle
- Automation systems
Did we miss something? The latest advancements and improvements in Qt are also welcome as always. You can also submit presentations on any topic related to Qt.
Business track
