Open Infrastructure Summit Denver Marketplace Updates
by Allison Price 29 Mar '19

29 Mar '19

Hi everyone, Thank you again for sponsoring the Open Infrastructure Summit Denver. We wanted to provide a few Marketplace updates as we get closer to the Summit. The Marketplace will be the only onsite place where attendees will have unlimited access to coffee (during Marketplace hours). Lunch will not be provided onsite, but a lunch map will be provided to attendees that lists over 100 walkable restaurants. The Marketplace will also include the opportunity to purchase vintage OpenStack swag at the Foundation lounge (located in the Marketplace), in addition to a 5G lounge with interactive demos. The Marketplace Demo Theater will feature lightning talks and sponsored talks each day, and during Tuesday’s afternoon break, the Community Contributor Awards will be presented. This will be promoted during Summit keynotes and leading into the presentation. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, Allison Allison Price OpenStack Foundation allison(a)openstack.org

Open Infrastructure Summit Denver: Marketplace Mixer
by Kelly Gotelli 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

Dear Open Infrastructure Summit Sponsors, As many of you know, OpenStack is planning an OpenInfra Mixer in the Marketplace on Monday evening, April 29th from 5:30pm - 7:00pm to welcome all attendees to the Open Infrastructure Summit. 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 4:30pm - 5:30pm for Sponsors to get set-up for the Mixer. Only attendees/staff with the proper Booth staff credentials will be permitted in the Marketplace during this time. Refreshments: We suggest that you plan on serving a minimum of 200 people, as we expect 2,000+ 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 Centerplate, exclusive caterer for Colorado Convention Center. 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 1st, 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, we will provide you with the name and contact info of your onsite catering contact. Centerplate 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!
