Participation Form (required):
OASIS Interops are public demonstrations that showcase multi-vendor implementations of approved OASIS work. These are official Consortium activities, endorsed by one or more OASIS Technical Committees, and mutually supported by OASIS staff and the InterOp participants. OASIS members participating in the InterOp must complete the official InterOp participant form by the deadline. Submission deadline is 15 September. Form is attached.
Demonstration Set-up & Schedule:
A room at the venue has been reserved for the InterOp (room F35). This room is located next to the ICS conference room, and is available from 8:00-18:00. The group will need to firm up their preferred room layout by 27 September. In addition to confirming the room set-up, the demo format and schedule will need to be worked out. The group is welcome to remain in the room all day (providing demos upon request) or may want to consider holding demos during a few designated times throughout the day. Both the room set-up and demo schedule items will be added to the next InterOp call. Please feel free to provide your input.

Company Signage
OASIS will provide all demo signage in order to ensure fairness and consistency. All signage will be forwarded to the group for approval by 27 September. I do have many company logos already, but may need to contact a few for high-resolution logos over the next few weeks. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me directly with any questions regarding signage.
AV Equipment & Technical Requests
Participating companies will be responsible for bringing their own company equipment for the demonstration to the event. The group did mention that a large monitor (about 32”) will be needed to display information on the InterOp. OASIS will take care of this order. All AV orders will need to be finalized by 27 September. Also, wireless internet connectivity will be available in the room throughout the day.
