Hello Geode Community: We're almost there! The Geode program at the SpringOne Platform conference starts on *Monday, Dec 4th, 2017*.
If you haven't registered for the conference, now is the time. You can *register here <https://2017.springoneplatform.io/ehome/s1p/registration>* - please use my *discount code (**S1P200_JMirani), *which will take $200 off the price of registration. We're *starting on Monday, Dec 4th, a day earlier than the other tracks and sessions. *Starting early allows us to bring the Geode community together at a time when there are no other competing sessions from other topics. The Monday, Dec 4th, Geode segment will start with check-in at *1PM, at Moscone Center West*. You will not need to check-in again on the following day, when the main conference starts. Please keep in mind that the Monday, Dec 4th segment is an early start, but it not the only day on which Geode sessions will be offered. *A full listing of the Geode sessions at the conference can be found here* <https://springoneplatform.io/geode>. You can also check out a blog post that briefly introduces each session <https://content.pivotal.io/blog/navigating-the-apache-geode-sessions-at-springone-platform-2017>, with links to the full abstracts. We're looking forward to bringing you together with your peer experts, core committers, and leading production users of Geode. With the Geode coverage at the conference, we can all walk away a lot more informed and inspired to reap additional benefits from this technology. See you there! Jag
