Where is the landing page for the summit?
How do individuals discover that the summit is happening?
Is there any documentation on the Node+JS Interactive website?

I've spoken with multiple individuals who should be at the summit who had no idea (including speakers). Also folks who are significantly more interested in attending the conference now that they know the summit is at the same time.

It can be found on the main conference website under add-on events: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/nodejs-interactive-2019/program/add-on-events/

Would it make sense to put text directly on the main page?

Yes, Would it also make sense to add them in the https://github.com/openjs-foundation/cross-project-council Readme and openjsf.org?

Is it possible to send an email to all conference attendees to promote all the side events happening before/during and after the conference including the Summit and Code&Learn. It is worth mentioning that these events are free and a great opportunity for everyone to connect with the community, learn and collaborate to projects.

I just booked a hotel checking out on the 13th because I assumed that the dates of the summit and the conference were the same. The fact that this continues past the end of the conference could be more obvious.

I would also appreciate some kind of schedule for the summit. How late on the 14th does it go? I want to know if I can fly home later that night or not.

Thanks @evahowe. If I’m going to be able to get my company to pay for the summit days, I need to justify the expense. The company doesn’t pay me to contribute to open source projects, unfortunately, so I need to point to something on the schedule for the summit that would seem educational or like professional development (or I can speak at something). I know you’re still working on the agenda for the summit, but the sooner it has at least a few qualifying items on it that I can cite, the sooner I can get it approved and my travel arranged to cover it. 😄

FWIW I'm still getting feedback internally that people are not able to find information about the summit. I've also talked to more than 1 attendee who was unaware of the summit (even after registering) and did not accommodate attending in travel.

I'd very much like us to revisit how we promote the summit for 2020 and try and make everything a bit easier for people to find.

Also, signing up for CollabSummit does not show any confirmation message and redirects user to "OpenJS Collaborator’s Summit" page

+1, I had no idea where to even look for this, all search results turned up was general guides for hosting one.

Considering this shows up as the first result if you google Node.js collaboration summit it seems useful in terms of SEO to add a link on that page to nodejs/admin#416 (this has been done for Code+Learns https://nodejs.org/en/get-involved/code-and-learn/)

It's worth thinking about making sure next iterations feel more inclusive of non-node projects and makes it clearer when's what. I'm still unsure whether Wednesday and Thursday are going to be Node.js only or not, for instance.

I nearly booked the wrong flights because https://events19.linuxfoundation.org/events/nodejs-interactive-2019/ has prominent dates that are only for the conference:

I don’t know what the solution is, as the summit isn’t part of the conference (?) but this is what threw me off.
