## Cassandra list email Hi everybody,
Here are current thoughts about structure and timing. Your feedback is welcome. Date: One of 18, 19, or 22 September 2017. We are aware the Tokyo user group is planning an event the first week in October. We’re doing our best to give a buffer there. Venue: After evaluating a few options in San Antonio, the event space at Geekdom seems like a good fit and the right balance of cost and services ( goo.gl/tViC72). Format: This will be a one day event, starting in the morning and running through the evening. Here is a proposed agenda we can iterate on: * 8-9am - catered breakfast, conversation * 9-12 - presentations, including a coffee/snack break * 12-1:30pm - catered lunch * 1:30-4:00pm - presentations, including a coffee/snack break * 4-5pm - lightning talks * 5-6:30pm - happy hour and a half * 6:30-9:30pm - dinner at a local restaurant We hope to film the presentations and make them available on Youtube. A few have already reached out offering various resources or assistance. Thank you! Eric or I will be reaching out to coordinate as soon as we are ready to finalize plans. Please chime in if you have suggestions, especially those relating to format. Cheers, Gary
