OpenStack Days Mountain West 2016 is the first regional event for the entire western United States, organized and hosted in Salt Lake City by the OpenStack Utah user group, with support from important industry ecosystem partners and OpenStack user groups from around the western United States. This two-day event will include keynotes, breakout sessions, and workshops, delivered by prominent OpenStack leaders and real-life OpenStack users.
The theme for this year’s event is “The Future of OpenStack”. Preference will be given to those talks that include this theme.

Topics include:
- Containers
- Networking
- Big Data
- Cloud Application Development

- and more
CFP Description
- Individual Talks (50 minutes) - These are talks given by a single speaker on an OpenStack related technology, project or operational experience. This would include project team leads (PTLs), OpenStack cloud operators (large and small alike) and developers of OpenStack related technologies (hardware, software or services).
- Group Panels (50 minutes) - This is a moderator lead Q&A session on a specific topic from a variety of different points of view from panel members representing differing interests. Please list all the members of the panel (including job title) as well as the moderator and topic.
- Lightning Talks (10 minutes) - These shorter talks are a great opportunity for general members of the OpenStack community to share their projects and experiences. We’re looking for a breadth of speakers to give shorter talks on interesting topics ranging from running OpenStack through developing innovative offerings atop OpenStack.
- Workshops (100 minutes) - These are smaller, hands-on sessions leader by an instructor allowing for a deeper dive into a specific OpenStack technology.
