Our call for papers is aimed primarily at independent speakers from pprivate and/or public organisations reliant on IT to support their activities or speakers from independent analyst/consultant organisations involved in the specification and provision of advice on IT products and services.
Representatives of IT hardware/software/service vendors are welcome to submit papers, but only those that can be guaranteed to be wholly educational and informative for conference delegates - and not a veiled corporate/product presentation - will be considered. Vendors can of course secure guaranteed presentation slots through event sponsorships.

· Desktop/client Virtualisation
· Converged Infrastructures
· Net Generation Data Protection
· Solid State Storage
· Public/Private Cloud storage solutions
· Outsourcing, Hosting and co-location
