[OpenStack Marketing] Upcoming Speaking Opps
by Lauren Sell 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

Hi everyone, There are a few speaking submission deadlines coming up in the next few months that we wanted to flag for the group -- the most important being the OpenStack Summit, of course! =) We encourage you to submit OpenStack topics at each these events (potentially a panel with other community members or a customer testimonial), and are happy to support you and help promote the session if accepted. One opportunity to flag is the new Modern Infrastructure Decisions conference (a TechTarget event and publication), happening April 11 in NYC. The conference organizers reached out to us because they are filling slots for a panel titled “Building a private cloud: Is it worth it?” and have users from other cloud platforms lined up. It would be great to have OpenStack representation from a mid-size enterprise user. If you have a customer who would be a good fit, please contact Kevin LaHaise (kevin(a)jones-dilworth.com) for more details. We might also be able to cover travel costs. Speaking opps arranged by the submission deadline (not the event date): Feb 4 - OSCON: http://www.oscon.com/oscon2013/public/cfp/251 Feb 15 - OpenStack Summit: http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/call-for-speakers/ < send us your compelling topics, workshops and panel ideas!!
