And once again, it will offer a wide range of educational conference content and a global exhibition track featuring leading IT vendors operating in the rapidly growing markets for data management and storage; servers, laptops, and storage virtualization; and data center technologies such as cloud services and solutions. Now in its second year as a three-in-one event, this unmissable gathering for the future of IT promises to be bigger and better than last year, with a number of new companies added to the long list of sponsors and others returning to the show after a year or two of absence. "
The level of interest and support for the conferences last year shows that expanding SNW Europe to include two new side events was a wise decision," said Paul Trowbridge, marketing director for all three events. "This year, we are delighted that our concept has once again attracted high-caliber companies, with many seeing the conferences as an ideal opportunity to meet with key decision-makers in their target markets."
With presentations, case studies, and a wide variety of tutorials on storage, virtualization, cloud computing, security, FCoE, solid-state storage, and much more, the three co-located events are geared toward a broad spectrum of professional IT end users, as well as technology-focused resellers, consultants, and distributors.
"SNW Europe stands out on the IT event calendar with its strong attendance and a flurry of activity not only on the exhibition floor but also in the presentation and tutorial sessions. As a sales and networking event, it can't be beat. For end users and the channel, it's simply the best place to learn not only about storage but also about virtualization and cloud computing. The decision to broaden the event's focus was a smart one," said Joao Silva, Vice President of Sales EMEA for five-year sponsor 3PAR.
"This is our seventh year at SNW Europe," said Jason Phippen, Senior Director of Marketing at Emulex. “We’ve been coming back year after year because the conference keeps evolving and the quality of the delegates keeps improving. For Emulex, SNW Europe is a must-attend event on the business calendar.”
“The data protection industry continues to evolve, and reflecting these changes in its conference and exhibition, SNW Europe has helped us stay closer to our end users,” said Christine Bachmayer, Senior Marketing Manager EMEA at Quantum. “The organizers’ decision to highlight data center virtualization and global technologies has ensured that we have the opportunity to meet with all the professionals who play a role in corporate data protection today.”
SNW Europe, together with Datacenter Technologies and Virtualization World, set new records in 2009 with over 1,500 unique visitors from more than 20 countries, an increase of over 10% over 2008 figures. More than 70% of attendees were end users, distributors, systems integrators, or members of the international press and analyst communities.
