The Annual Russian System Administrator Festival celebrates international System Administrator Ap-preciation Day (every last Friday in July). In 2011 the Annual Russian System Administrator Festival will be held for the 6th time. After the last 2 years Sysadmin Festival rightfully earned the “main summer IT-event” title.

Sysadmin Festival 2006The first festival was held in 2006 and gathered 350 IT geeks. As a first casual IT event in Russia it received wide mass media coverage (web and printed periodicals, radio and central TV).Watch video by NTV channel: http://sletadminov.ru/about/photo_video/slet2006/detail.php?SECTION_ID=9&ELEMENT_ID=196See the photos of the Sysadmin Festival 2006: http://sletadminov.ru/about/photo_video/slet2006/index.php

Sysadmin Festival 2010In 2010 the IT-community of the festival celebrated their first anniversary - the 5th Annual Russian System Administrator Festival! To commemo-rate this wonderful event the organizing committee built a 5 meter tall monument of a “n00bs prohibited” sign (crossed teapot – Russian symbol of a dummy).

It was the first year the official discussions were divided by themes creating special zones for virtualization, IP telephony and information security.

Thank you for the event – you are truly heroic! The possibility of organizing this was unreal but you did it! All in all the impressions are positive, it is surprising but there even was no rejection of our brand (we were expecting a far worse reaction from the audience), everyone was very eager to communicate. The audience practi-cally snatched all our brand souvenirs from our hands. My col-leagues were able to talk to our users, get feedback, find leads and even make amends to solve unsatisfied clients.

We really liked this comment:

“Greatly enjoyed the Kaspersky Lab camp, although if I were them I’d place there a huge plasma screen and show ads. By the way their idea of “geek selecting” was totally cool”.

I believe we were able to make our audience happy and after all that is our main goal. There was no negative feedback so I guess we’ve reached our aim! Thank you!

Thank you, we immensely enjoyed our partnership, everything was perfect.

Waiting for the next festival!

I have heard some great feedback from the event end of July in Russia.

Thank you very much for the professional organisation!

Eugene LisovskyFamatech

This festival from the reaching the target audience and positive feedback points was 5 times more effective for us than the last year. I’ve extremely glad we participated. Everything happened just the way we planned it to, the audience was very amicable towards our product (and hold beer we provided along).

This time we decided to make everything simple yet effective: give IT guys what they truly want – beer and show associating all that with our brand.

In the end we were able to reach 10% of the audience, recorded all that to make our viral promotional videos and are now monitor-ing the feedback at the social media (which is so far very positive).

On the whole this is a unique event. As far as I know nowhere else in the world IT-professionals gather in one place in such quantities.

“Outstandingly creative”Our favorite kind of partners. They gather huge audiences, attract all the media attention, get interviewed by TV-cameras and are being discussed in social media for weeks after the Festival. This implies some bright and memorable concept of an event or promotional activity linked to partner’s brand or product\service.
