ICYMI: Debriefing on 2015’s Event & Why We’ll Be Returning
Leading up to HostingCon Global 2015, Andy told us, “the #1 reason people come to HostingCon is the networking.” The HostingCon tagline is Network, Learn, Grow, and after attending the 2014 and 2015 conferences, we can see why.
Network: Unbelievable Business Opportunities with Leaders in their Trade
The who’s who of hosting continue to show up at HostingCon year after year. This is the place where hosting industry players should come to do business. In terms of space, scale, and number of participants, HostingCon is probably the largest networking event for the industry.
For companies with a global customer base, this is the perfect venue to engage with those users, while also courting potential new customers one-on-one. If you’re seeking a service provider, prospecting partners, or shopping for new software, this is the place to find all of the above, and test them out in a fun, informative environment.
Learn: Expert Discussion Panels with Industry Innovators
HostingCon’s motto is most definitely embodied in the expert panels they make available to attendees. For four days straight, conference guests are offered the opportunity to learn from leaders in their trade.
HostingCon Global features industry insights from discussions led by expert panelists.
Some of our favorite panels from HostingCon 2015 included:
- “Hosting 3.0: What Does it Look Like” — the future of the hosting world, discussed by the CEOs of Parallels, DigitalOcean, Symantec, and Blacknight Solutions
- “People, Process, and Platform: How to Think About Digital Analytics” — the lowdown on how to properly measure and track your marketing and sales to yield the greatest ROI, led by Google Analytics guru Adam Singer
- “How to Stop Your Office From Becoming a Woman’s Battlefield” — a fascinating forum discussing the fate of women in STEM fields, and how to enhance your workplace with gender equality, featuring Kellie Green, Michele Neylon, Annie Dane, and Carolyn Herzog
