Full News Release
The summit reviewed today's rapidly evolving communications
marketplace focussing on cloud services, virtualisation,
centralisation and Next Generation Networks.
Delegates helped Britannic raise money for Dreams Come True, a
charity raising money to help terminally ill children and their
families - a very worthwhile cause.
This year attracted a record number of new prospects, a
world-leading line up of speakers from across the industry and
exceptional feedback from those who attended. Over 300 people
enjoyed the day, providing a unique networking opportunity with
peers and influencers within the industry.
Once again the event provided an insight into the developments
and innovations within the communications industry, complemented by
practical advice from experts and was on hosting and cloud
services.
The summit included a solutions exhibition show-casing 16 of
Britannic's key strategic partners, who are amongst the world's
leading cloud solutions suppliers. The exhibition gave delegates
the chance to try this technology first hand, speak face-to-face
with Britannic Technologies and their partners and see live
demonstrations of this technology.
Business leaders, Heads of ICT or Operations from across the UK
enjoyed networking and learning from world class experts about the
latest developments in hosted and cloud solutions, and were able to
experience the latest technology first hand in the exhibition
area.
The "behind the scenes" tour of Silverstone proved popular with
delegates who also participated in a silent auction, raffles,
competitions and many had their pictures taken for charity with an
F1 car. All proceeds from the day were donated to the children's
charity Dreams Come True. A ride in an F1 simulator, lunch and a
networking drinks reception topped off this enjoyable and
productive day.
