5th Data Centres Europe Conference and Awards have said that despite the downturn, attendance figures have been sustained from last year with more than 300 executives – some 25% of which are at CXO level – converging on the two-day event which begins tomorrow in London.

“Once again we are delighted that our flagship event has sustained its lead in providing content, value and networking opportunities which this year will be unparalleled given the high percentage of CXOs attending,” said Nicola Hayes, vice president at BroadGroup. “In addition to the conference and exhibition, this year’s awards ceremony will be held in Trinity House, an historic but relaxed backdrop to network effectively at the supper and party complemented by a jazz quartet and the awards ceremony.”
This year the fifth annual forum is dedicated to the Enterprise and to discuss their key concerns.
