Play the Up, Up, and Away Game

Up, Up, and Away

As you expand your horizons at the O’Reilly Fluent and Velocity conferences, have some fun with the Up, Up and Away points challenge game. The more you participate and engage, the more points you’ll earn, and the more you’ll advance in the ranks. The higher the rank, the cooler the prizes.

How to play

Step 1: Download the O'Reilly Events App

Launch the O’Reilly Events app, click on the game tile, and create your game alias to get started. There you will find the list of activities where you can earn points.

Step 2: Earn points

As you participate in each of the activities, look out for a sign with an airplane icon (see above) and a unique code. Enter the code into the app to automatically earn points.

Step 3: Be entered for a chance to win

At the close of the game (5:00pm PDT on June 14), your rank will determine the prize pool for which you are eligible. See below for prize details.
