Although 2021 has been anything but “typical”, we’ll continue the tradition of giving away t-shirts at this year’s conference.

And when choosing a number we thought 1,000 sounded pretty good.

Who is eligible for a free t-shirt?

Anyone that registers for All Things Open 2021 (virtual or in-person) is eligible for a free shirt.

When are they available?

We’ll begin giving shirts away on Sunday, October 17 at 12 noon ET and we’ll give them away as long as supplies last. If shirts are available on Monday, October 18 we’ll continue giving them away as long as supplies last during the day.

How do I get one?

Simply show up at the Raleigh Convention Center starting Sunday, October 17 at 12 noon ET (we’ll distribute shirts until 5:00 pm or so). Upon arrival, go through the Wellness Check Station (you’ll need to show proof of vaccination or a negative test within 72 hours, see our COVID Policy for details), then go right inside and choose a shirt. *Note, you’ll need to show proof of Eventbrite registration also (on your phone or a printed copy will work fine).

*For anyone registered but without proof of vaccination or negative test, we’ll try to bring a shirt out to you. 

What do I need to bring with me?

Be sure to bring proof of vaccination or a negative test (see our COVID Policy here details) and a digital (on your phone) or printed ATO registration confirmation from Eventbrite.

Can I just purchase a shirt to guarantee I receive one?

Absolutely. We have two VIP options available, each of which helps us out tremendously and guarantees you receive a shirt. The VIP 1 for $69 USD includes a shirt or poster, the VIP 2 includes both the shirt and poster. *VIP packages can be ordered in Eventbrite when registering here. Just click “Tickets” and you’ll see them as an option. 

Who’s Making Shirts Possible?

The wonderful team at Red Hat, that’s who. We’ve worked with Red Hat from the very beginning of All Things Open (10 years) and we are truly grateful for their partnership and support over the years. Red Hat’s logo will be printed along the back neckline, which should blend nicely with the shirt.
