“Geek Day 2013 promises to be an extraordinary opportunity for IT
professionals to experience the most advanced technology solutions
available today in a truly vendor-neutral environment, learn best
practices from experts, interact with peers and explore the current
high-tech landscape,” said Scott Miller, director of data center with
World Wide Technology.
The Geek Lab provides identical set-ups for technology sponsors to
showcase solutions, regardless of whether they are a multi-national
corporation or an emerging IT start-up. This controlled environment
gives attendees the opportunity to evaluate a wide range of IT solutions
based on functionality, watch live demonstrations and ask questions of
technical specialists without sales pressure. Fifty-minute breakout
sessions deliver more in-depth insight with experts outlining best
practices, answering comprehensive questions and highlighting new
releases. Throughout the event, attendees have time to interact with
peers and thought leaders to define technology strategies, explore new
ideas, find solutions to current challenges and further identify best
practices for success. IT professionals are encouraged to attend both
days of the event in order to fully leverage educational and networking
opportunities.
Hundreds of attendees have already registered for Geek Day 2013.
Featured Geek Labs and breakout sessions will cover topics including
data center, virtualization, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), cloud

cabling, power, cooling and more.
