The OpenStack Summit
The Icehouse Design Summit is co-located with the "OpenStack Summit" which is a more traditional conference. The Design Summit pass gives you full access to the OpenStack Summit. You can find the schedule for this event at http://openstacksummitnovember2013.sched.org.

Keynotes
Those talks happen on Tuesday and Wednesday morning. No Design Summit session happens during plenary sessions, so you can easily attend those.

General session and Breakout sessions
You can attend those talks if you're interested, but they happen at the same time as Design Summit sessions.

Unconference
We'll have an Unconference room with empty slots. There will be a grid posted at the Summit, where you can book your own slot to discuss anything related to OpenStack. First come, first serve.

Lightning talks
On Tuesday - Thursday after lunch, there will be a series of 5-min long lightning presentations that you can book to talk about anything you want, including teasing people so that they will come to your presentation afterwards. There will be a grid posted on a wall at the Summit... First come, first serve.

Social events
There are parties on almost every evening. See the list here.
