Travel information
DRESS CODE
Dress code - as always - the Red Hat way: anything between business casual and business informal is perfect, also for all dinners. More information about the activities can be found below but most important to keep in mind for Thursday night is: you better wear something that is comfortable enough to DANCE ALL NIGHT LONG!
TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITY
For the team building activity make sure to bring some comfortable shoes that you can walk in for a longer time!
SKO OPENING NIGHT: “RED HAT’S GOT TALENT”
This year to open SKO, we want to create a platform to showcase YOU and YOUR talent. Red Hat celebrates diversity so use your imagination and wear something fun that represents you or your team:
- ARTISTS: have you got a hidden talent? Show us! Come in fancy dress as your favourite singer, dancer, performer, musician or band.
- HOBBY: what are you interested in or passionate about? Wear something that shows another side to you reflecting your hobbies and passions
- SPORT: how do you like to spend your free time? Are you fanatical about a certain club or sport? Whether you follow your pursuits on land, sea or in the air, show us what you would wear and get us guessing
These are just some ideas. The last 2 years have been great fun to see you take part especially as teams. You consistently exceed our expectations so we look forward to another special evening. Don’t feel under pressure to buy anything new - just use your creativity and keep it fun. Keep in mind you should be ready and dressed for the celebration evening before the event officially starts at 16:00 on Tuesday March 20.
SKO PARTY
Red Hatters love to party and our SKO party on Thursday night is no exception. This year we will strip it back and want you to come dressed in white. You can look forward to a funky venue, great music and entertainment, amazing food and drinks whilst mingling with your fellow Red Hatters. Again don’t feel under pressure to buy anything new - just use your creativity and make sure at least your upper body clothing is white.
Please book your flights to/from Barcelona (BCN) as per guidelines of Werner Knoblich's invitation email.
The destination airport for this year's SKO is again Barcelona (BCN) so all should be able to book price worthy flights and arrive in time without any difficulties.
The SKO starts on Tuesday March 20th in the afternoon and ends on Friday March 23rd (noon). Everybody who is NOT invited to the Sales Alignment Meeting on Monday should book flights arriving at BCN airport Tuesday before noon and departing from BCN airport Friday after 16:00.
- All that have access to it: please ensure that you use the new travel platform Egencia for booking your flights. Make sure to choose price worthy flights, e.g. check possible indirect flights and alternative airports as well.
- Arrival at airport BCN latest 12:00 CET on Tuesday
(for Sales Alignment Meeting arrival Monday at BCN, latest 10:30 CET) - Departure from airport BCN not before 16:00 CET Friday
If you cannot find a reasonable priced flight on the required travel dates and within the timeframe, please do not book a flight on another day or time before you have been in contact with Esther Dalderup (esther@redhat.com) to discuss the matter.
Visa
In case you need an invitation letter to apply for visa please contact Esther Dalderup (esther@redhat.com) as soon as possible.
Shuttles will be going from BCN airport to the venue on Tuesday March 20 (and on Monday March 19 for the Sales Alignment Meeting). Please check the Transfer Schedule to find your slot. Shuttles will take you back to the airport on departure day Friday March 23 as well. Detailed information will be published shortly prior to the date.
Transfer time between BCN airport and venue: around 1 hour.
Transfers are scheduled based on flight arrival times.
For those who are traveling to Barcelona on earlier date/time and have requested to be scheduled for a seat in shuttle should look for their individual names in the shuttle schedule. It is not possible to just hop on any shuttle randomly; you would take somebody else’s seat doing that! Make sure to come to the Terminal that your name is listed for – not to the other one! They are not connected!
For those coming in from Madrid it is best to book the train (AVE 03093) to AVE station Camp de Tarragona – arriving at 11:57. For the return trip it is recommended to book the train (AVE 03142) departing 14:33 from from AVE station Camp de Tarragona, in case you want to enjoy lunch at the venue before departing. Otherwise, the earliest train you should book is the train (AVE 19730) departing at 13:22.
There will be a shuttle service from Tarragona train station (AVE station: Camp de Tarragona) to the venue. If you are based in Spain and drive to the venue by car or travel by train (to Tarragona) please indicate such clearly in the registration form.
Planning on arriving before the event starts? Or do you want to extend your stay in Spain after the event?
In case of a private extended stay in the area you need to inform the event organization about details as such influences the logistics of the organization. You can do this by putting details in the online registration form (field: Additional travel information).
Any longer stay prior or after event is considered to be a private extension of your stay (not paid by Red Hat) unless prior approval by Werner or Esther – approval of your manager is not sufficient.
The Sales Alignment Meeting, starting on Monday, is only to be attended if you have received an invitation from Werner (sent Monday 11th of December, 11:25h CET). The meeting starts on Monday March 19. If you are invited, you should book a flight arriving at BCN on Monday, as early as possible – latest at 10:30h. Anyone expected to attend this meeting is known hence his/her Monday arrival on Red Hat expense is automatically approved.
If you are invited to the Pre-Event Meeting your registration will automatically make sure a hotel room for the Monday night is booked for you as well. Please do not contact Esther to get confirmation on your Monday room. If your travel details in the registration data do not match with our list of expected arrival dates, it will be noticed and you will be contacted to clarify.
