Making announcements at the Summit? We want to help promote them
by Allison Price 16 May '18

16 May '18

Hi everyone, If you are making announcements at the upcoming Vancouver Summit, we would like to help you promote them. Like we have done at previous Summits, we email attending media a list of announcements including those from the Foundation, users and participating sponsors. This can include (but is not limited to) product announcements, new customers speaking, new partnerships, etc. Following the Summit, we publish a Superuser article that summarizes the announcements and is promoted heavily. You can reference the Boston <http://superuser.openstack.org/articles/openstack-summit-boston-recap-post/> and Sydney <http://superuser.openstack.org/articles/openstack-sydney-summit-recap-50-th…> articles as examples. Please reply to me directly if your organization has news that you are releasing during the Summit week (May 21-24) and would like us to help promote. We can keep the news under embargo until your release goes live. Thanks! Allison Allison Price OpenStack Foundation allison(a)openstack.org

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
