Hi everyone,
we have the opportunity to organize two „Meet Neos“ alike conference days in Nuremberg next year.
1. Nuremberg Web Week
The “Nuremberg Web Week” is a whole week (11th - 18th April 2016) in Nuremberg with different web related events at different locations in the city. Details can be found on the website: http://nueww.de/ (german only, sorry). We have the opportunity to place a one day Neos event in the program and use the marketing/pr done by the web week organizers. netlogix would be hosting the event. You remember the Neos 1.0 release? That’d be the location again! We are allowed to promote the event additionally to the web week ourselves and also can find exclusive sponsors for the Neos day, additionally to the web week sponsors.
The target group for this event would be a lot of marketers and agencies from the Nuremberg/northern Bavaria area, who get attracted by the web week anyways.
The event could be done as a one day conference on Thursday, 2016-04-14.
Note: Inspiring Conference is right the week after. As I see it currently both events attract completely different people, so I don’t see a problem here. Additionally the speakers would be in the right corner of Germany already
2. TYPO3 Developer Days
The T3DD16 will be in Nuremberg castle again. We won’t be an official part of the developer days itsself (like a Neos track or something). I discussed that with Thomas Maroschik and we would be allowed to use the awesome location for one day right before the T3DD16. My idea is to organize a one day Neos conference, with its own name/branding and schedule. People who are interested in Neos and T3DD16 could by a combi-ticket. Of course single tickets for only one of the two events would also be available. As the Neos event is only one day, we don’t have to care for accommodation related stuff, which would only be included in the T3DD16 ticket (or the combi-ticket).
I personally really like that idea, as we get our own conference at that nice location and don’t get in a strange mixup with the TYPO3 event. On the other hand it’d still be very easy for some of the team doing some Neos/Flow related talks at T3DD16.
The date would be: Wednesday, 2016-08-31 (T3DD16 right afterwards from 1st to 4th of September)
I could imagine organizing both events, even if it’s the same city twice. However, I expect a very different audience. What do you think? I’d also like to ask you as team who would be in for doing talks at one or both events. Obviously without good speakers they cannot succeed.
I’m curious for your replies!
