Let's talk Edge Computing at OpenDev, next week in San Francisco
by Claire Massey 28 Aug '17

28 Aug '17

Interested in Edge Computing? *Next week* join us for OpenDev <http://www.opendevconf.com/>, a collaborative working event at DogPatch Studios in San Francisco, September 7-8. Register here <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/opendev-2017-edge-computing-tickets-35579171259>. Tickets are just $100 for the two-day event. OpenDev will feature Edge use case demos from Verizon, AT&T and eBay in addition to updates from industry pioneers including Satya <https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~satya/bio.html> from Carnegie Mellon who’s doing cutting “edge” research. Participating groups include OpenStack, Open Edge Computing, ETSI MEC, OPNFV, Kubernetes and others. Program committee includes Beth Cohen (Verizon) Kandan Kathirvel (AT&T), Chris Price (Ericsson), Andrew Mitry (Walmart) and Gregory Katsaros (Inmarsat). As cloud architectures continue to evolve, compute is being pushed to the Edge in telecom, retail, research and other industries. This represents a huge opportunity for open infrastructure, so we’re meeting to talk about how to assemble and integrate the components needed to meet Edge requirements. The event is designed to facilitate collaboration at a technical level with productive, working group discussions, in addition to lightning talk presentations on Edge use cases. There will be a range of working sessions led by moderators who dive into specific topics. Topics like managing security, what control planes need to look like, networking technologies in play, deployment considerations, zero touch provisioning and others. The discussions will be technical and specific—this is not meant to be a vision or thought leadership event, but a practical step forward in improving the state of Edge across open tech. View the schedule line-up here <http://www.opendevconf.com/schedule/>. This important event is proudly sponsored by Intel, Ericsson and OpenStack Foundation. Questions?

We encourage sponsors to bring branded tablecloths and pop-up banners to help brand your space. Please see page 18 and 19 of the Sponsor Manual for banner guidelines. OpenStack will provide table sponsors a sign to identify locations. *Monitors - the standard monitor included in the Headline, Premier and Spotlight Sponsorships has been upgraded to a 48” size. If you purchased the monitor add-on sponsorship this will also be the 48” size. *Schedule updates: - Registration will close at 6:00pm on Sunday, November 5. Sponsors will still be able to set-up until 7:00pm, but you must check-in before registration closes at 6:00pm. - The Keynote has been moved up 45-minutes to begin at 9:15am on Monday.

All booths must be set and staffed by 10:30am in anticipation of the 11:15 am opening. Please let me know if you have any questions. Information on the Marketplace Mixer is coming next week.
