Interop 2010 Kicks Off World Tour in Las Vegas April 22, 2010
Interop 2010 - Las Vegas Edition April 25-29
The “IT industry’s leading event” is once again kicking off its four-stop yearly world tour in Las Vegas. It all happens next week at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center beginning Sunday, April 25th and running through Thursday.
More than 10,000 IT industry professionals are expected to attend - including yours truly - and more than 400 leading exhibitors from the IT industry will be putting their wares on display. Since I was able to obtain a media pass to this wondrous event, nearly everyone of those exhibitors have contacted me in some way or another hoping to line up an interview or give me materials on their latest product releases. This being my first year attending anything with a media pass I had no idea that would happen.
The excitement for 2010 starts in Las Vegas, but there are three other stops on the Interop tour scheduled throughout the year: Tokyo, Mumbai, and finally New York.
Interop promises to give attendees information on the latest IT solutions and trends from all the major players in the industry. Key note addresses on Tuesday and Wednesday and sessions scheduled throughout the week promise to provide some interesting topics including:
- Application Delivery 2.0
- Cloud Computing
- Data Center
- Enterprise 2.0
- Governance, Risk and Compliance
- Green IT
- IT Security and Risk Management
- Mobile Business
- Networking
- Storage
- Video Conferencing
- Virtualization
- VoIP and Unified Communications
The list of exhibitors is definitely a who’s who in the industry with names like EMC, Dell, IBM, Microsoft, Novell, VMware and Cisco presenting their products, just to name a few.
