There is a need in the business-to-business community for a place to meet partners, OEMs, press, analysts, venture capitalists, and consultants as part of the business development process. Most of these gatherings of industry people are at shows like Storage Networking World or Storage Decisions.
Many of the industry professionals who go to these shows do not register for the show. Rather, they have ad hoc meetings in the hotel lobby.
While there is a time and a place for exhibiting for outbound sales and marketing, this event will cater to core internal business needs of participants. We will offer a great venue for having meetings, presentations and for networking with other professionals like you. We will not charge exorbitant registration fees, or make you pay for things you don't care about.
This is a networking event FOR industry insiders, put on BY industry insiders.
