Don’t Watch Alone – Host a Viewing Party!
One of the best parts of attending a DevOps conference is getting to interact with others in the community. We have had many organizations including Capital One, Intuit and Fannie Mae approach us about hosting viewing parties at their offices—and opening the party to the public. Sound intriguing? Here’s how to do it:
Secure the location. Pick your corporate auditorium, cafeteria or open meeting space. Secure it all day for Nov. 15. Make sure you have at least one internet-accessible viewing screen.
Promote the session: One you have the approved locations and times, share them here with the All Day DevOps Conference organizers. We will help you promote your party on AllDayDevOps.com and through social media postings, directing them to your registration page.
Invite People to Register: Set up a place for people to register for your location. You’ll want to know how many people to expect because you need to know how much pizza to order. Meetup.com and Eventbrite.com make event registration easy.
Make it Fun. Order some pizza and drinks. We’ll send along some cool laptop stickers from the conference and some of the sponsors. Share pictures from the event online (@AllDayDevOps). Join the conversation in the conference Slack channels. Set up birds-of-a-feather stations. Play some music during breaks. Set up viewing screens for each of the conferences three tracks.
Just to be clear: the All Day DevOps Conference is not a collection of vendor pitches.  In fact, we have tried our darnedest to ensure the agenda is purely focused on real DevOps practitioners sharing their craft.  Take a moment to look at the speakers participating in each of the tracks and you’ll see what we mean.
Register today. Invite your colleagues to attend.  Then plan a viewing party at your office.
