OpenStack Summit Boston Marketplace Mixer Details
by Kelly Gotelli 14 Feb '17

14 Feb '17

Dear OpenStack Summit Boston Sponsors, As many of you know, OpenStack is planning a Marketplace Mixer on Monday evening, May 8th from 6:00pm - 7:30pm to welcome all attendees to the OpenStack Summit in Boston. This is a social gathering to kick-off the week. All sponsors are required to staff their booth during this event but it is optional to provide refreshments. There will be a soft close in the Marketplace from 4:45pm to 5:45pm for Sponsors to get set-up for the Mixer. Only attendees/staff with the proper Booth staff credentials will be permitted in the Markpetplace during this time. Refreshments: We suggest that you plan on serving a minimum of 475 people, as we expect at least 3,500 attendees to pass through the Marketplace during the Mixer. The more refreshments you serve, the more opportunities you naturally have to interact with the attendees. Attached you will find a selection of available food and beverage items from Levy Catering, exclusive Summit caterer for the Hynes. Exhibitor Favorites and Traffic Promoters (page 9 - 10) are only available for Spotlight, Premier and Headline sponsors. Orders of alcohol, beer and wine must have a bartender. Bartender fees will be determined when you place your order. To avoid duplication between sponsors, OpenStack must APPROVE your participation and the item(s) being served. Please send your request to Sarah Krawiecki [sarah(a)fntech.com<mailto:sarah@fntech.com>] by Monday, April 3, and specifically list which items you would like to serve. (Items will be available on a first come, first requested basis). Once your request is confirmed, Sarah will provide you with the name and contact info of your onsite catering contact. Levy will not accept any orders sent directly to them without prior approval. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to let us know. We look forward to hearing from you! Kelly & Sarah
