360°dcLounge @ Covid-19 & Data Center

The mask of adults is called „experience“

Walter Benjamin, German philosopher, 1892-1940

Covid-19 has turned both our personal and business lives upside down. Data centers quarantined, cloud spending reaching record highs, downtime due to disrupted supply chains, canceled and postponed orders, suspended maintenance, short-lived, country-specific regulations, mobile working – although the data center industry tends to be one of the winners of this pandemic, we were and are in crisis mode.

The 360°dcLounge @ Covid-19 & Data Center on 17.09.2020 aims to share experiences, strategies and solutions from Data Center operators and companies, which will make us more successful and independent in the event of future pandemics and help us to remain active and competitive.

The 360°dcLounge @ Covid-19 & Data Center goes online. A new experience for you and me, I am confident that we can implement both the spirit of a 360°dcLounge „Brainfood instead of pretzels“ and networking. Interactive formats and also a lottery will integrate you! The event is in English language.

Please register early so that we can send you access data for the online conference as soon as possible.

We look forward to you and your experiences!
