Break out your Tux (or Red Hat) (Fri., Nov. 6 - evening)

The Summit will close with a complimentary Wear Your Tux Mixer, offering CTOs the chance to mingle with speakers (some of whom are staying for the following day’s Big LAMP Camp), network with peers and meet many of the most avid LAMP developers in the country. To enliven conversation—and in some cases, aid recruiting efforts—developers will be encouraged to wear logo attire** to this casual event, which will feature dueling brands from Nashville’s top breweries.

**That's Tux, the Linux mascot, not Tux, black-tie attire.
