 Momentum Anaheim Grand Opening Reception
Monday, September 18
6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
The sun, surf, and sand are the crowning glories of California's beaches. So for the Momentum Anaheim Grand Opening Reception, we’ve created our own tribute to the Golden State: Momentum Beach. Like Venice, Redondo, Huntington, and Malibu, Momentum Beach is ready to help you have a relaxing good time. Lifeguards will be on hand to assist if you go in too deep and the denizens of the boardwalk will keep you thoroughly amused. So put on your sunscreen and flip flops — it's beach time Momentum-style!
Held in the Exhibit Hall, the opening reception also will offer you a first look at the Solutions Exhibition, featuring more than 85 EMC Software partners demonstrating their latest products. Enjoy great food and cocktails while mingling with colleagues and making new contacts.
Studio D After Dark at Lucky Strike Lanes
(Invitation-Only Event)
Monday, September 18

Make sure your bowling shirt is freshly pressed, because Studio D’s heading to the lanes! And this isn’t any ole’ bowling alley; this is an establishment with STYLE.  Following the Momentum Anaheim Grand Opening Reception, the party will continue for Studio D members at Lucky Strike Lanes with bowling, billiards, and plenty of delicious food and drink! (And we’re not talkin’ “dogs and chips.”)
Don’t miss this golden opportunity to mix and mingle with other Studio D members and EMC Software management before Momentum kicks into high gear.
See you at the alley!

Farewell Luncheon
Thursday, September 21
12:30 pm – 2:00 pm
Attend the Farewell Luncheon—Momentum's final group gathering—on Thursday afternoon to commemorate the conclusion of the conference and meet with fellow attendees one last time. Hear closing remarks from EMC Software executives and enjoy a special "week-in-review" video recapping highlights from the previous three days. 
You especially won’t want to miss our Farewell Luncheon speaker, astronaut Jerry Linenger, who will relive the riveting story of his five-month ordeal on the space station Mir. Hear how he survived life-threatening ordeals, including an out-of-control spacecraft tumbling through darkness, low oxygen, and the worst fire ever to occur in space.
And remember: While we'll formally bid each other farewell at the luncheon, Momentum continues until 4:15 pm, so stick around to benefit from additional afternoon sessions.
