Why Interop & Demos
Making the value proposition tangible to the industry — through interoperability, early testing and plugfests.
Make value proposition tangible to the industry
Working demonstrations that show what a specification enables, not just what it says on paper.
Interoperability through early testing and plugfests
Shared reference code means plugfests test real interoperability from day one, instead of every participant starting from scratch.
