In just two days this event provides an exceptionally time and cost-effective opportunity for vendors to meet so many of the world’s key technology business press and analysts in a series of scheduled face-to-face sessions – as well as a great way to be informed, to debate and discuss the latest hot topics and breaking IT news.

“Each year we provide this very special opportunity” says Mark Fox, NetEvents CEO. “Especially for ambitious and enterprising start-ups – where else can one be seen and heard by so many key IT industry figures plus the world’s top IT press and analysts? Add to that NetEvents’ worldwide media partners, and you end up with industry-wide recognition from a massive global audience of C-Level and senior executives, VCs and media gatekeepers”

This year’s NetEvents 2018 Global Press & Analyst Summit is being held at the Dolce Hayes Mansion in San Jose, California, USA, on 24 – 25 May 2018. All proceeds from the awards, plus profits and donations from the evening, will be donated to three charities: Prostate Cancer Research, STEM and UNICEF.
