I am looking to find a location that can host a 3 day event in a city in the United States that has good international airline flights on a daily basis. Some examples of cities to consider would be Boston, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Seattle, etc. </div><div><br></div><div>If any of your companies have facilities in such a city that could be made available to about 150 people for 3 days please let me know. Having an event hosted by a participating company is always a significant cost savings for the community and I like to see what is available before trying to find a hotel or other event to co-locate with. </div><div><br></div><div>I look forward to any thoughts you have on this topic. Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div><div>- - - </div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="rgb(0, 0, 0)"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri">Stephen Spector, Rackspace</font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="rgb(0, 0, 0)"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">OpenStack Community Manager</span></font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="rgb(0, 0, 0)"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"></span></font></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; "><a href="mailto:stephen.spector@openstack.org">stephen.spector@openstack.org</a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; "><a href="http://openstack.org/blog">OpenStack Blog</a><b> | </b><a href="http://twitter.com/opnstk_com_mgr">@opnstk_</a><span style="font-style: italic"><a href="http://twitter.com/opnstk_com_mgr">com_mgr</a></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; "><b>Office</b> +1 (512) 539-1162 | <b>Mobile</b> +1 (210) 415-09030</span></div></div></div></div></body></html>
