Where I can keep track of the special events (note: these are not “parties” as so many people are misled to believe – you should expect to be contacted by sales and account professionals at each event) at OOW. To attend one of these events:
- You’re registered as an OpenWorld Attendee.
- You’re either a prospect, customer, or goodwill contact for the host. That means you actually contact the host and ask to attend before OOW.
- You visit the host’s booth at OpenWorld in order to pick up whatever is required for entry and get to know what the host actually does.
- Do not just show up at the event and attempt to “crash” it – just spend your time at a regular OOW reception the same evening and you’ll still get plenty of party time.
