element14 Party

Who wants an element14 party? me image

Where should it be?

  • Leeds image
  • Chicago

When should it occur?

  • Summer 2019 image(people need time to plan)

It seems whenever a couple of element14 members get together, they have a good time, so why not try to see if we can get half a dozen to show up at the same place at the same time?

Possible agenda items:

  • introduce the element14 staff
  • take a quick tour of Farnell
  • have one or two members present a project they worked on
  • discuss element14 then and now and to come
  • check out a local pub (this could be the whole agendaimage)

The event could be webcast or even interactive.

There could even be a special technical contest to win a trip to the event and present your project. (hint, hint)

Please discuss availability, schedule, location and agenda items in the comments below...

    Hi Cosmin,

     

    I like your idea. If a Chicago meet can be arranged I will be there too.

    Party in Chicago would be great! I look forward to meeting you all!

     

    One additional thought: how about adding a bit of "conference/trade show" style event - we may have a few sessions where E14 members can showcase their projects.

    A pretty big trade show like Embedded World attracts about 30,000 attendees, the vast majority of travel expenses being paid for by companies, so definitely there would be a significantly higher potential turnout to an element14 party at such an event, and it could even be used for recruitment into the forum. However the logistics would probably dictate something like a 3 hour evening party without much discourse. When I went there and presented my element14 project, I had a great time and met some members, but the whole trip was sponsored by Cypress Semiconductor and coordinated with element14.

    I didn't get to see as much of Nuremberg (it is an interesting place) as I would have liked, but I at least got to see some of it.

    My better half has a special interest in Leeds, so at this point I would be more interested in spending a week exploring the Leeds area with her, and a day interacting with element14 members.

    This was taken during the award ceremony at Embedded World - just before they broke out a large quantity of Champagne for the audience. image

    Maybe Embedded World as well as Leeds....find out which is better by having fun with both, or move the venue every year.image

    Hi,

    I have been watching this post.  I really love the idea of bringing our members together and the idea of sponsoring one in Leeds and one in Chicago.  And thanks MHub for offering to host the Chicago event.  Would be way cooler than our offices! At the same time - doing it at a major conference might work.  Not sure if there are any that are regularly attended.  Any thoughts on that?

    My wife and I are interested in the museums and the U 505 display at Chicago along with the wide variety of good food.

    Now if element14 could just strike a RoadTest deal with Boom, and get them to pick all of us up at our nearest airports and whisk us off to Hawaii or something...
