OpenStack Summit Vancouver: OpenInfra Mixer (formerly Marketplace Mixer) Details
by Kelly Gotelli 09 Apr '18

09 Apr '18

Dear OpenStack Summit Vancouver Sponsors, As many of you know, OpenStack is planning an OpenInfra Mixer in the Marketplace on Monday evening, May 21st from 6:00pm - 7:30pm to welcome all attendees to the OpenStack Summit Vancouver. 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 300 people, as we expect at least 3,000 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 Vancouver Convention Centre Catering Department, exclusive caterer for the VCC. Orders of alcohol, beer and wine must have a bartender. Bartender fees will be determined when you place your order. Monday, March 21st is Victoria Day, a national holiday in Canada. Due to holiday labour rates, there will be an additional flat fee of $100.00 CAD added to all orders for the Marketplace Mixer. 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 Friday, April 6, 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. Vancouver Convention Centre 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

Sponsor Retweet Program
by Ashlee Ferguson 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hi there, Thank you for sponsoring the upcoming OpenStack Summit in Vancouver! If you'd like to secure a few additional FREE Summit registration codes, here's your chance! If you’d like to participate, reply to this email by this Friday, March 16, providing us with your official twitter handle. Over the next month, we’ll send you three tweets from the @OpenStack Twitter handle for you to retweet within five days of each one being published. We’ll send your full access codes after successfully retweeting all three tweets. The quantity of free codes will vary based on the quantity of followers of the handle they are retweeted from. (For example, if @Company has 100k followers but @CompanyContainersTeam has 1k followers, and @CompanyContainersTeam is the handle participating, the code allowance is set based on @CompanyContainersTeam, not @Company.) We encourage you to give these additional free codes to OpenStack operators/users and your customers, but they will be yours to use as you wish upon completion of the retweet program. All registration codes must be redeemed no later than May 11. Remember that you MUST reply to this email to confirm your participation. Please let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, Ashlee Ashlee Ferguson OpenStack Marketing ashlee(a)openstack.org
