Started in 2008, the Palmetto Open Source Software Conference (POSSCON) quickly grew in 2009 to an event with more than 200 attendees from four (4) states (South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida), twenty (20) speakers, and more than twenty private and government entity participants.  In fact, POSSCON grew so fast in 2009 we’ve moved the 2010 conference to a new location – the Columbia Convention Center in the heart of Columbia, SC.
