July 24, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – HostingCon (http://www.hostingcon.com/2008/), the annual get together of the web hosting community, is just around the corner. The event kicks off July 28, 2008 and continues to July 30, 2008. This year it takes place at Navy Pier in Chicago, Illinois, USA amidst a backdrop of rapid change within the industry and threats such as cloud computing on the horizon.
HostingCon promises to deliver thousands of attendees something of value to everyone, whether “an executive or a system administrator”. The event draws together “the best and brightest in the industry” and alongside a comprehensive series of talks and sessions, HostingCon is seen as a great opportunity to network with others involved in web hosting, as it offers ample social activities where networking can take place. The annual meeting features an exhibit hall with “special vendor demos” where sponsors and exhibitors including R1Soft, DemoWolf and numerous others will offer attendees advice about their products and services.
What is special about HostingCon is the quality of industry professionals available to impart their specialist knowledge through mini workshops, conference sessions, and keynote addresses. This year Parallels’ CEO Serguei Beloussov will be giving a keynote address entitled, “The Optimized Hosting Platform - Meeting the Changing Needs of Hosting Providers” while other speakers include John Pozadzides and Aaron Phillips of Layered Tech, and Microsoft’s Mark Rodgers, amongst many more. The event will culminate in a fireworks display over Navy Pier. Full information about HostingCon is available at the event’s website.
