The BD Event is for "insiders" in the storage, security, virtualization and networking industry, providing a forum for industry participants to conduct business development and M & A activities without the expense and time commitment associated with trade shows. There are no customers or end-user prospects to cater too at this event - only industry insiders - including current and potential suppliers, technology providers, channel partners, media, analysts, and financial representatives.
The intent of the event is to simply provide a dedicated, low-cost means for conducting standard business development activities, as well as to enable a more efficient opportunity for participants to stay on top of trends and industry-specific education.
