FREE To All Boot Camp Attendees And Two Guests!
Are you still trying to figure out what your cloud solution should be? Curious about what vendors are available to help you deliver profitable cloud solutions? Then you don’t want to miss the Cloud Fast Track Pre-Day Event. We’re bringing together 12 different cloud solution vendors who will be talking about how to make money selling “virtual hosted office” solutions, cloud backup, HaaS + cloud, hosted e-mail and much more. This is a perfect way to quickly learn about multiple cloud vendors and compare them side-by-side in one day. You’ll also get the chance to talk to other IT business owners about the vendors they’re using and their experience in selling and delivering cloud solutions.
Best of all, we’re allowing all Boot Camp attendees to bring two additional people from your company for FREE to the pre-day. That’s because these sessions will be broken up into tracks; by bringing additional staff or partners, you can make sure you see all the sessions – or you can just pick and choose the ones you’re most interested in.
*Please Note*
This pre-day session is ONLY available to those attending the Boot Camp in person. These sessions will not be recorded or made available via a live stream.
