** 5K

Join a hardy crew for a morning jog up and down Portland's beautiful Willamette river. We'll leave from the Armory at 0700 on Tuesday, heading east to the river. After crossing the Steel Bridge, we'll follow the East Bank Esplanade down to the Hawthorne bridge before heading back up the west bank to the venue. The route is 6.4 km of flat pavement. Temperatures should be in the 40s with a chance of light rain, so bring a jacket.

** Program and pitches (Gold sponsors)

Between the talks, we'll ask one or two Gold sponsors to hop on stage. You have one minute to tell us about your company, why you're involved in the DevopsDays community, or to make a "we're hiring" plea. These pitches are informal, so no slides.

If you still need to register (or would like to scan the list of attendees), take a look here:

http://devopsdays.org/events/2013-portland/registration/

Contact the organizers if you're a Gold or Silver sponsor and have misplaced your registration code.

** Setup, teardown

We'll be in the venue from 0630 on both Monday and Tuesday to setup. Attendees will arrive beginning at 0800 to mill around and grab some coffee. Gold sponsors will each have a table in the lobby for their use; you can run demos, chat with attendees, or otherwise hangout at the table throughout the day. We need to clear the venue lobby by 1800 both days, so we ask you to start packing up by 1730. You can leave your sponsor tables in place overnight at the venue.

We'll also have a table for other sponsors to leave swag on.
