DETAILS:
OpenInfra Days are organized and hosted annually by local User Groups and companies in the ecosystem and are often one or two-day events with keynotes, breakout sessions, and even workshops.
This first OpenInfra Days North America, hosted by Indiana University, US, is being jointly organized by participants from the United States, Mexico, and Canada. We encourage involvement from users and companies from these countries and hope to have lively networking and community-building from within North America.
OpenInfra Days is a great opportunity to hear directly from prominent open infrastructure leaders, learn from user stories, network, and get plugged into your local community.

Presentations will be chosen based on topics of interest as identified by the program committee as well as space in the program.
Presenters will be notified by August 22 of acceptance. Final slides will be due by October 11 for final review and posting to the conference website (as well as formatting for the projector in the presentation rooms).
All presentations will be posted in PDF format on October 14 and recorded for posting after OpenInfra Days NA at IU via YouTube.

OpenInfra Days sponsorships are available at various levels with a wide range of benefits. Sponsorship funding curbs high registration fees. This is stressed to participants before and during the event. Organizers also stress that sponsors are potential collaborators who enable participants to do their research. See sponsor information.
Three sponsorship levels are available and multiple opportunities, like reception, coffee hour, meals, and diversity registrations.
