[ff-all] FIWARE Marketing Round-up Edition #8

[FIWARE Marketing Team]

Dear FIWARE Community members,

We are cruising into the month of August with exciting opportunities,
initiatives, and events ahead. We know the vacation period is in full swing
but so are our activities for the months ahead. The Marketing Round-up is *the
*way to stay up-to-date with what is going on in the FIWARE Community and
what FIWARE can offer you in terms of great opportunities, and it is our
goal to make sure you, our members, are the very first ones to hear about
all that is to come: from exhibition opportunities, FIWARE Impact Stories,
Open Calls, and new partnerships that will benefit you and your business,
to speaking opportunities and more.

July was a great month for us and we are dedicated to making the upcoming
months even better. Now, without further ado, here is everything you need
to know about our (upcoming) activities and, most importantly, what is in
it for you.
