Sponsor Updates: StackCity Community Party in Boston
by Kendall Waters 08 Dec '16

08 Dec '16

Hi everyone, As you know we’ve decided to again organize a StackCity Community Evening Event for the Boston Summit. Update! We now have a hold on Fenway Park <http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/bos/ballpark/fenway-park-events/event-venues/b…> for Tuesday night, May 9. Check the link for pictures. We hope to make this an unforgettable night for the Summit attendees, but in order to do so, we need sponsor support to make it feasible. The scale of the event will be dependent on the amount of sponsorship support. The more the merrier! StackCity sponsorship prices are outlined on the prospectus <https://www.openstack.org/assets/boston-summit/Boston-Sponsorship-Prospectu…> (page 18) and will be available for purchase on December 14 when the Summit contract goes live at 10:00am CT. We’re still in the beginning stages of planning this event and will have more details to share soon. All StackCity sponsors will receive VIP party benefits and the opportunity to add special branding add-ons. Cheers, Kendall Kendall Waters OpenStack Marketing kendall(a)openstack.org
