The Managed Services Convention which takes place on 22 May 2012 at the Grange Tower Bridge Hotel London, is the primary UK channel event addressing the implications that the combination of the Cloud, Mobility, new intelligent devices and consumerisation is having on the implementation and delivery of business solutions. These disruptive technological changes are having a profound effect on channel business models and causing a complete rethink on the role of IT in the future.


Following on from the highly successful Managed Services Summit last September, the Managed Services Convention takes a deeper look at all the issues and will attempt to give delegates a clearer understanding of those issues and the challenges and opportunities awaiting the channel over the next few years.


During the Managed Services Convention there will be breakout sessions covering the six major market segments making up the managed services proposition and within these segments there will be presentations on specific topics important to channel companies wishing to become managed service providers for their clients.


£ Managed Support Services £ Unified Communications £ Software as a Service £ Operations £ Infrastructure Services £ Communications


The Managed Services Convention is a must attend event for any director of a UK ICT channel company. Having a grasp of the essential information around such a crucial topic is important however being able to listen to differing views and then debate them with potential partners and your peers is vital to real understanding.


Registration is free-of-charge for qualifying delegates – i.e. director/ senior management level representatives of leading Resellers and Solution Providers and commercial Data Centre Operators

Why attend the SNIA Datacenter Technologies Academy?


First and foremost the event brings a significant level of content that is guaranteed to be vendor-neutral. These presentations are developed by members of the SNIA and reviewed by a wide number of individuals, vendors, consultants, analysts and end-users to ensure they give a broad industry view and are not the views of a single supplier.


Event sponsors and the association, ensure that they have subject- matter-experts on hand to discuss with you, the trends and standards being developed and implemented in the IT data management sector, so that you can get your own questions answered and enter into valuable discussions to help you in your own environment.


As well as leading vendors and the industry association there will be several local systems integrators and consulting organisations on hand to discuss your requirements in detail.


Free entry with promo code: F5M12 for IT professionals within public and private enterprises and representatives of the IT reseller/integrator and distribution community. Representatives/employees of non-sponsoring IT manufacturers/vendors will be charged a delegate fee to attend.


Registration for both events is now open at www.datacenter-academy.com
