Uptime Institute Symposium is the most influential all-stakeholder thought-leadership conference serving the global data center industry.
The theme for Uptime Institute Symposium 2013 is The Global Digital Infrastructure Evolution. IT and data center thought-leaders and innovators from around the world will meet at the Santa Clara Convention Center to consider the present and future state of the Digital Infrastructure, as well as strategies on how to best evaluate the alternatives and make the best decisions for their organizations within this rapidly changing environment.
The GEIT Award winners' case-study presentations are scheduled throughout Symposium.
This year's Symposium features three tracks, which are tailored to the three primary professional roles responsible for managing and influencing this Digital Infrastructure Evolution: Senior IT Executives, Data Center Management and Operations, and Data Center Designers / Engineers.
All 2013 Green Enterprise IT Awards honorees are invited to brief Symposium delegates on their case studies at the GEIT Awards Showcase scheduled for the afternoon of Monday, May 13. Winners will be honored at the Awards banquet that evening.
