Get Social at Oracle OpenWorld

What: Social Plaza @ Oracle OpenWorld
When: Tuesday, October 2, Noon–8:00 p.m.
Where: Mint Plaza, Fifth Street between Mission and Market
Hashtag: #oow

Join Oracle’s social media masters—plus hundreds of your soon-to-be-closest friends—at this all-social social. There will be two bars open from 4:30 p.m. until closing, with drink coupons to go 'round. Also on hand will be one of those famous San Francisco gourmet food trucks—check them out also starting at 4:30 p.m. While you’re there, mug at the Social PhotoBooth—maybe while you're drinking a mug.

Social Plaza is going to showcase artists at work—face-to-face. Indie music faves Golden State will be stopping by to play, dance-rageous DJ Brandon Arnovick will be spinning discs, and artist Melanie Alves will be painting the scene—and scenes—right there. 

Into fashion? Check out the 20 local fashion designers who will be displaying, discussing, and selling their unique designs.

And if you want to add to your t-shirt collection, we’ve got a live print screening planned ... the first 300 socializers will get a t-shirt free.

But hey—be sure to mix some technology with your social efforts. Watch Larry Ellison’s keynote live from Social Plaza, drink in hand.  

See you there.
