Postponement of Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies Conference 2020 in Sydney


A Note from the Host:
Due to ongoing concerns about the coronavirus (COVID-19), Gartner has decided to postpone the IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies Conference, scheduled to take place in Sydney, 27-28 April 2020. We will be communicating new dates shortly.

Ensuring the health and safety of our customers and employees is our highest priority. Therefore, out of an abundance of caution, we believe this is the right decision given the evolving public health risks.

We have contacted all registered attendees, exhibitors, and partners with details for their individual situations. If you were registered for the conference and need additional assistance, please contact us at GlobalConferences@gartner.com.

============================
The ground is shifting for IT infrastructure and operations (I&O). The adoption of fast-moving technologies and methodologies — from cloud, edge computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) to DevOps and AIOps — are cutting across the functional roles of typical I&O teams, challenging their skills and demanding a new kind of dexterity. The traditional data center may be waning, but IT infrastructure and operations — increasingly digital and distributed — aren’t going away.

Attend Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies Conference 2020 and see how to accelerate innovation and agility in a hybrid world and enable your organization’s digital future.

ARIN 45 Moving to Virtual Meeting Format


Note from Host:
In light of the current circumstances related to the rapidly evolving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak and guidance from Federal and state governments, the ARIN 45 Public Policy and Members Meeting will no longer have an in-person component as originally scheduled to take place in Louisville, Kentucky.

We have been closely monitoring the latest news and guidance related to the COVID-19 outbreak from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and local health departments. Following the most recent guidance from the CDC, we must prioritize the health of our ARIN community members and their families, and thus, the ARIN 45 Public Policy and Members Meeting will now proceed entirely as an online-only meeting for all participants.

We ask that all participants please save the original dates of Monday, 27 April and Tuesday, 28 April while we review our normal policy discussions and related meeting programming to select material to be added to the agenda. We will be publishing the agenda and how to participate in the near future.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding.
 

==========================
Join us Sunday, 26 April, 2020 to Wednesday, 29 April, 2020 at the Galt House Hotel for the ARIN 45 Public Policy and Members Meeting. Advance meeting attendee registrations and registration for remote participation are free. Please note that the meeting will conclude at 1:30 PM EDT on Wednesday, 29 April.

Note that non-member attendee registrations received on or after 26 April or on-site will result in a $150 USD fee, payable in cash at the meeting registration desk or online by credit card.
