"Our recipe of careful topic and speaker selection and inclusiveness allows for a variety of analyst viewpoints on the important technology and trends, a broad range of tried and true practices and tips from a range of consulting firms and enterprise practitioners, and enlightening debates among vendors and technologists are what sets our educational conferences apart. We will use the same formula at our upcoming Amsterdam and Boston events."
