OSMC 2023 | Behind the Scenes Part 2/2

by | Nov 14, 2023 | OSMC

As a trainee in marketing, I had the opportunity to attend OSMC 2023 on 8th of November. Today, I will tell you about my first-hand experience at the event and give you a few insights into what happened behind the scenes.

Insights on the Eventee App

To enhance the OSMC experience, we provided our attendees the Eventee App. It was used to create a personal agenda, get updates, connect with other attendees, and stay informed. After scanning the QR code at the back of the participants’ conference badge’s they signed up easily, and then networked like on Tinder. Swiped through profiles, chatted, and stayed in the loop with the feed’s updates. Planning their individual schedule was also an easy task with the app!

So many Chances to win a Price!

We have also used the app to send out some tips regarding our OSMC raffle. In the giveaway, there was a glass safe with a Lego set inside. Participants had to crack a four-digit code to access the prize. Hints for the number combinations were sent through the app. I have to say, you all impressed me with your quick and skillful solving of challenges, earning some fantastic Lego set rewards. Impressive!

NETWAYS WEB SERVICES, our Silver Sponsor, brought in a fun guessing game. People tried to guess how many M&M’s were in a bottle. The prize was a cool Baby Yoda Lego set. It was tricky and engaging to guess the sweets.

Our Silver Sponsor, Elastic, also had a thrilling price competition. By scanning the QR code on the front of the attendee’s conference badges, they’ve got a chance to win a Lego set as well. Cheers to the winner whose luck was on their side!

Food, Catering, and more Food

Now let’s talk about the food. Brace yourselves because the buffet at the conference hall was a nice feast. From breakfast menus with pretzels to sandwiches, delectable desserts, and vegan options, the choices were endless. And just when you thought you couldn’t possibly eat more, the catering team swooped in with their never-ending supply of delicious treats.

Our Camera Team

A big thanks to our camera team – Cecilia, Tatevik, Björn, and Saeid. They recorded all the presentations, enabling you to revisit them at your convenience on YouTube and in the conference archives. In case you missed this year’s OSMC, it’s a great way to level up your skills.

The Evening Event at Korn´s

And let’s not forget the Dinner & Drinks event at KORN´S. It was the perfect place for deep conversations, establishing valuable networks, and, of course, having a great time together. Grabbing a drink of choice, diving into discussions with the amazing community, and following up with live music – the evening could not have gone better. Even as a non-technical person, I soaked up so much knowledge on monitoring. Thank you all for sharing your expertise with me!

Our Thanks to You

We couldn’t let you leave without showing our appreciation. So, as you headed home, we handed out lunch boxes and a personal OSMC cup, your souvenir to cherish this memory with us.

We hope to see you again at OSMC 2024, where we can continue this journey together. I had absolute fun attending OSMC 2023, and I hope I was able to give you a glimpse into my view of this event. Thank you for joining us, stay tuned!
