8. Storage Decisions Goes International
The Storage Decisions Toronto Summit is *the* storage education and networking event in Canada. The 200 delegates represent the storage IT teams at several of the country’s top private and public companies, educational institutions and government organizations. Sponsoring vendors send their Canadian-based sales and marketing teams, so you talk to people who are in tune with your unique needs and want to earn your business. The unique one-day format is the very best of the Storage Decisions conference – specialized to fit your information needs and brought to you.

7. Breakout workshops tailored to your level of expertise.
While main session themes are relevant to virtually all storage managers, you have the opportunity to pursue topics targeted to your specific information needs. You schedule your itinerary specific to your level of expertise and by the topics most pressing to your organization's storage needs.
