Sponsor Information
About Storage Decisions TorontoBuilt on the successful Storage Decisions conference and seminar model, Storage Decisions summits will travel to Toronto and San Francisco in 2009. Last June, Storage Decision’s brought its 2-day conference to Toronto, creating the only forum for expert content exclusively for storage professionals in the Toronto area. More than 250 backup managers, SAN Engineers and IT Directors came out for the premiere and raved about their first exposure to our in-depth, independent analysis. Storage Decisions will bring this summit format back to Toronto for the 2nd time this June with a new, unique format. New Format This summit will combine the multi-track content of a full Storage Decisions Conference with the table-top sponsor format of a seminar, resulting in one full day jam-packed with expert content and quality networking time. Sponsors will own a table to be staffed during all meals and breaks. With the extensive networking time and the opportunity to address the full audience, sponsors have the opportunity to make a big impact on our highly qualified audience. The expanded, multi-track agenda includes keynote speakers as well as specialized breakout sessions to address the top challenges for every attendee. Track sessions include Disaster Recovery, Storage Infrastructure, Backup, and Architecture. Look Who’s Coming With the ultimate goal of 200 - 250 attendees, there are already almost 200 attendees confirmed as of the first week of May.

Storage Decisions 2008 Attendee Highlights
The difference is the audience Storage Decisions is the only event that delivers an audience in which 100% of the attendees are IT professionals with storage budget authority and sizable storage budgets. Employees of technology providers and sales, marketing or business development types are not allowed to attend as delegates. The result is the "anti-trade show" where all of the delegates are truly qualified professionals serious about storage and looking to have meaningful conversations with our sponsors and exhibitors. The average attendee storage budget is more than $9 million and with a Storage Decision sponsorship, you have the unprecedented opportunity to directly impact the buying decisions of each attendee. Act soon if you want to get in front these premier storage buyers. For information on sponsorship opportunities, please contact Mike Kelly at (781) 657-1409 or email him at mkelly@techtarget.com.
