The sixth Datacentre Transformation Manchester (DT Manchester) event, organised by Angel Business Communications, in association with
Datacentre Solutions, the University of Leeds and the Data Centre Alliance continues to build on the success of the previous events.
The combination of data centre knowledge and expertise brought to the event by the organisers ensures that DT Manchester is the premier
data centre event in the calendar, bringing together the data centre research and design community, the data centre vendor industry and, most
importantly, enterprise end users, for a collaborative information exchange.
In 2016 we will be running nine Workshop Sessions instead of the normal conference programme, covering a wide range of topics. The
workshops will be managed by a number of independent industry specialists and will present the findings from survey data carried out
throughout the year by Datacentre Solutions and the DCA. The workshops will ensure that delegates not only earn valuable CDP accreditation
points* but also have an opportunity to speak to leading vendors and suppliers.
Further networking opportunities are provided throughout the day during breaks between workshops and at the informal evening networking
dinner (tickets available to purchase).
