First: Sign Master Sponsorship Agreement

Summit Sponsorship Agreement
• The executable MSA contract is available to sign here:

Second: Sign Vancouver Summit Contract
• A link to the executable electronic contract will be
made available at openstack.org/summit on Thursday,
January 28 at 11:00am CST / 16:00 UTC
• In recognition of the ongoing support of companies that
are Sponsors or Members of the OpenStack
Foundation (openstack.org/companies), their contracts
will be considered first, for the initial 24 hours after the
executable Vancouver Contract goes live on January
28.
• All other contracts will be processed starting 24 hours
later on January 29 at 11:00am CST. From that point
forward all sponsorships will be sold on a first-come,
first serve basis determined by the timestamp on
completed agreements.
10. 10
Remember to check your email
• After signing the electronic Summit contract you will receive
an email sent from Echosign
• You must click the link in that email to confirm your
signature
• Once this step is completed you have successfully signed
the contract. If you do not click the link in the email then you
have not yet completed the process.
11. 11
Make sure you don’t have any past due invoices
• If your company has any past due balances owed to
OpenStack Foundation, these invoices will need to be
paid in full in order to be eligible to sponsor the Summit.
• Please contact billing@openstack.org if you think you
may have any overdue/outstanding invoices
12. 12
Specific to Headline sponsors
• Headline level sponsors will be confirmed on a first-come,
first-served basis if there are four (4) or fewer contracts
submitted within the first hour of the executable agreement
becoming available.
• In order to create a fair and level playing field, if more than
four (4) companies submit signed contracts within the first
hour, the Foundation staff will conduct a lottery to draw the
four (4) official Headline sponsors.
• The remaining companies that do not secure the Headline
sponsorship via lottery will be given the opportunity to re-sign
contracts and obtain Premier level sponsorship slots in the
order they submitted Headline agreements.
