SPEAKERS

VORTEX is a deftly orchestrated experience showcasing a diversity of informed opinion and fresh insights on the future of the nearly $1 trillion enterprise IT market. Unlike other conferences that string together disparate speakers on disconnected themes, VORTEX drills down on the new IT industry emerging from the post-boom, post-bust epochs.
