OpenStack Summit Vancouver Booth Crawl Details! Don't Miss Out
by Kelly Gotelli 22 Apr '15

22 Apr '15

Dear OpenStack Summit Vancouver Sponsors, As many of you know, OpenStack is planning a Booth Crawl Happy Hour to welcome all attendees on Monday evening, May 18 from 6:00-7:30pm. This will be the Grand Opening of the Summit Marketplace Expo Hall! All attendees are invited to join us in The OpenStack Community MarketPlace for drinks and snacks; this is a great time to mix, mingle and checkout the sponsor booths. All sponsors must staff their booth during this time. We encourage you to offer food and/or beverage items to draw people to your booth. Attached are some ideas and pricing from the Vancouver Convention Centre Catering department, exclusive caterer for the Summit. These are just a few suggestions, we're sure you'll come up with some creative ideas of your own! To avoid multiple duplication of selections between sponsors, OpenStack must APPROVE participation and item being served. Please confirm your participation with Sarah Krawiecki, sarah(a)fntech.com<mailto:sarah@fntech.com> and Kelly Gotelli, kellyg(a)fntech.com<mailto:kellyg@fntech.com> by Monday, April 27. Items will be available on a first come, first requested basis. Once your item is confirmed, Sarah will provide you with your onsite catering contact. Please let us know if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you! Kelly Kelly Gotelli FNTECH event management email: KellyG(a)fntech.com<mailto:KellyG@fntech.com> mobile: 650.208.0251 www.fntech.com<http://www.fntech.com>

Welcome & Updates - OpenStack Vancouver Summit Sponsors
by Claire Massey 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

Hello current Sponsors of the May 2015 OpenStack Summit in Vancouver! You are now subscribed to the Summit Sponsor group mailing list [ summitsponsors(a)lists.openstack.org <mailto:summitsponsors@lists.openstack.org> ]. Moving forward we (OpenStack Foundation and FNtech) will use this mailing list to send announcements to all Summit sponsors simultaneously. Please pay attention to these emails so you don’t miss any important notifications. In the spirit of openness you are also empowered to communicate with each other (out in the open) by using this mailing list to discuss any summit related items together as a group. For example, if you are seeking a partner to help you co-sponsor an evening event then this list is a great place to ask. For reference, below is a list of the current confirmed sponsors for the May 2015 Summit. We’ve gone ahead and auto subscribed everyone from the sponsor companies who’ve been identified as the marketing/booth contacts for the upcoming Summit. If you think any of your colleagues should also be added to this mailing list - they can subscribe here <http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/summitsponsors>. Please note - when you send an email to this mailing list ALL of the subscribers will be able to read it. If you do not want everyone else to see your email then please send it directly to the person whom you intend to read it and not to the group list. ANNOUNCEMENTS: * Community Voting on Summit session submissions will open next week, hopefully on Monday, February 16. We are currently testing the voting tool, and therefore running a little behind our original schedule. Once voting opens, it will run for a full seven full days. We will let you know as soon as it’s open - stay tuned! * Next week Kelly Gotelli (FNtech) will begin reaching out to sponsors with the show floor layout. Once you are contacted by Kelly you will be given 24 hours to review the show floor layout, ask her any questions about it and make your final booth location selection. As you can see from the list below, we already have 80+ sponsors confirmed and more rolling in daily. So it will take several weeks before every sponsor has the opportunity to choose their booth location. Please be patient! We will contact everyone in the order that we received your signed sponsorship contract. * If you haven’t already, please review the high level Summit timeline <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LCxlnp2jZzSkU21c3ujedLd4lWYMhUT6HM-GWZc…> for a list of upcoming deadlines. * Shari, Kelly, Jacki and I will continue to be your main points of contact for all sponsorship items. Please direct any general (non sponsors) summit questions to summit(a)openstack.org.
