By The Open Group Conference Team
It is time to announce the winners of the Newport Beach Photo Contest! For those of you who were unable to attend, conference attendees submitted some of their best photos to the contest for a chance to win one free conference pass to one of The Open Group’s global conferences over the next year – a prize valued at more than $1,000/€900 value.
Southern California is known for its palm trees and warm sandy beaches. While Newport Beach is most recognized for its high-end real estate and association with popular television show, “The OC,” enterprise architects invaded the beach and boating town for The Open Group Conference.
The contest ended Friday at noon PDT, and it is time to announce the winners…

The winner is Henry Franken, BiZZdesign!
