TECH.unplugged is a one day event focused on cloud computing and IT infrastructure. Its innovative formula combines a group of independent, insightful and well-recognized influencers with disruptive technology vendors and end users who manage rich technology environments.

Our goal is not to replace traditional information channels and analysts, but to deliver insight and information in a unique way. The goal is to assist IT decision makers by bringing them together with independent bloggers, industry vendors, and end users, and engaging in debates and open discussions on topics such as IT infrastructure, virtualization, cloud computing and storage.

TECH.unplugged focuses on end users and gives them the opportunity to actively participate the event. In fact, most of the material presented is from independent sources, and end users play a major role by sharing their points of view, experiences and opinions.

The theme of the day will be “The Future of Enterprise IT: Technology and Strategies”. The focus will be entirely on new and disruptive technologies, and how they can be adopted in the real world.

In order to enable the best possible interaction between speakers and attendees, the number of seats is limited. However, all sessions are recorded and will be streamed shortly after the event.

TECH.unplugged is free for end users, and is hosted by famous industry influencers including:

Arjan Timmerman - @Arjantim

Chris Evans - @chrismevans

Chris Mellor – @Chris_Mellor

These influencers will be joined by a few selected sponsors, with the objective to provide a combination of opinion, and real product examples influencing the future of enterprise IT.

This is why 70% of the content comes from independent sources while the rest is provided by sponsor.
