Hard to believe it’s been a year since the last Accelerate – but here we are at the new Resorts World in Las Vegas for Accelerate 2023! (picture credit to Jessica Drummond)
I’m a bit behind in getting out this post…but thought if nothing else I’d put down something for “future Andrew” to remember the conference by (and hopefully interesting for those I’ve known over the years).
As always, the schedule is quite full from briefings to customer meetings to breakout sessions to a multi-customer EBC. As well, I’ll be doing my best to live-tweet and/or live blog the keynote tomorrow morning. You can find my live Twitter coverage at twitter.com/andriven and the live blog on the front page right here – thinkmeta.net.
From a session standpoint, on Thursday at 4 PM I’ll be presenting with my peer Savas Nicolaides about “How to Achieve Cloud Efficiency with Pure Fusion” where we’ll be covering…
Before that on Wednesday, I’ll be doing a shorter Breakout Session all around kubernetes and Portworx where we’ll walk through the history of Pure in the k8s space + recent developments..
Friday morning is going to be a rather unique session for a multi-customer EBC with Dr. Andrew Braverman (VP of US Enterprise SE’s) titled…
We won’t discuss Pure as much as provide ways to look at the technology and business landscape – ways that we’ve leveraged over the years, that we think will help our customers, and that will also be useful to our customers. Call it a bit of an MBA course or TED Talk with interesting stories and IT relevance if you will. To finish up, JD Wallace, Santiago Navonne, Mayank Bhatnagar, and myself will be on a panel about what we find interesting looking forward for both Pure and the industry.
Last but not least, aside from multiple individual customer + influencer meetings, I’ll be hanging out at the FlashStack booth a good bit – see this blog for a recent update there. Do stop by if you’d like to chat and of course my Twitter DM’s are always open.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!
