3rd European ISV Day

“Looking ahead at a European Software Strategy”

The ISV Day is a dedicated event to discuss issues of relevance to European ISVs. These usually
center around European policy and business issues of interest. In the recent past, Commissioner
Reding has invited the industry to give her input on the industry’s concerns in light of a ‘Software Strategy’
that she is looking to develop later in 2008. The Association has stepped up to respond to this request and
is preparing a whitepaper to present to the Commissioner.  Due to the importance of this task,
the Association has decided that the topics covered by the white paper should be the themes of this
year’s ISV day.
