They were very active in those months and part of several industry level events, included latest IT Press Tour and Virtualization Field Day.

After six month beta where the service was tested by enterprises and service providers across diverse industries and geographies with 1000s of virtual machine deployments everyday, they now announced the general availability of Platform9 Managed OpenStack, the SaaS solution that transforms an organization’s existing servers into an AWS-like agile, self-service private cloud within minutes.

But most of them are available also for download, so if you miss one of those events or you need an additional copy you can simple download the poster that you need. Of course, in this case, the printed version could not be so useful (unless you have a plotter or a big printer), but the electronic version remain still valuable.
