The crown OpenSIPS event, the OpenSIPS Summit, started as being located in Amsterdam, until the pandemic moved us online. But once we were back with to the in-person events, we experimented a different approach, by picking different locations each year – like Athens 2022 and Houston 2023. This approach was a successful one, as both events turned into great events that coagulated around the local communities.
And for 2024, why not, we consider continuing this approach, by picking another location – Europe pinned this time :).
The success of previous editions
The last years experience taught us a very very important thing: for a great event, you need great organizers. And the best organizers are the local people connected to the specifics on the culture, or the country/city. We had such people in the past years, our “local contacts” in the cities were the Summit happened :
- Lorenzo Mangani, QXIP for Amsterdam Editions
- Vasilios Tzanoudakis, Voiceland, for Athens Edition
- Alex Goulis, OFFICErING, for Houston Edition
They all did an awesome job by providing their local support into:
- evaluating and recommending hotels to host the venue
- helping us to understand the cultural specifics of the city
- support in picking up the place for the social event
- logistical support in preparing / delivering the materials to run the show
2024 Summit is Europe
So, here we start a “Call for Locations” for OpenSIPS 2024 Europe (around month of May) – we are open to community’s proposals for any Europe city.
But we are looking for more than city names, we are looking for a nomination / candidateship package of city and local supporting people 🙂
If you are to propose a 2024 Europe location, please consider:
- actual city name, ideally a safe and pleasant city
- local people ready to commit in helping with the venue, social events and logistics (all help is just time and work, not financial!!)
- a huge bonus is if the local organizers have already attended to a Summit in the past (to know what we are trying to put together)
- being well connected in terms of traveling is a bonus
- being a touristic city is also a bonus
Compile all the above information and please drop us an email .
We will collect all the proposals, evaluate them and hopefully in the next weeks will pick up the location – your opinions do matter for us!
