Hi,
Just a reminder, some I've pitched this idea directly to you during Shellcon.
We can organize an event(s) during Connect Week to help promote SCALE 17x. There are some nice venues available.
Connect week(+) Oct 20-28, 2018 in Pasadena: Innovate Pasadena ( a non-profit to promote innovation, tech, arts, and science in Pasadena ) is helping community events do events / meetups during that period by assisting with connecting us with venues. Many of the venues are donating their spaces. ( Connect Week will also assist with marketing )
So, that makes it very easy for us in the community to organize events! We would still need to find food / coffee sponsors.
I highly encourage anyone interested to do something.
There are spaces available for weeknights, weekdays, and weekends.
This is an annual event, and thus we should be able to utilize the opportunity to build partner community run events which Innovate Pasadena will assist us with.
We can use this opportunity to do something in Pasadena to support our regular user groups and larger conferences / events.
If you need an introduction to the IP folks who can assist you, please let me know.
Thank You Matti
ps - I have RSVP'ed a venue for a "product" day on Sat 10/27 and now will need to secure a food and a coffee sponsor and a couple more presentations / content. There appeared to be a number of larger venues available to handle 30-100+ people, and I see a lot of great opportunities for us to build a stronger community.
