      Why attend? Hear from your peers:

      • “The biggest benefit of the conference has been seeing where the rubber hits the road. Taking the insights from the analysts, seeing the (exhibitor) solutions, but then talking to organizations who are actually implementing those solutions.”

        James Eagleton
        GM, Data Services and Storage, South Pacific, Hewlett Packard Enterprise

      • “It’s been amazing! To be honest, I would say to my boss, ‘Bring me to these kinds of events again.’ ...I’ve grabbed more knowledge coming to these events [rather] than me just learning along the way.”

        Aileen Hughes
        Department of Employment & Workplace Relations

      • “The one-on-ones have been really helpful. It was great to dive into some real tangible examples of how to adopt some of the frameworks and techniques. Probably the most beneficial time of the whole conference, to be honest.”

        Cameron Shipway
        Director, Infrastructure, Operations and IT Procurement, Custom Fleet
