All weeks seem busy, but I can tell you that the halls of EMC are filled with extreme levels of activity and excitement – something that happens every year about this time! Final preparations are being made as we prepare to host the company’s largest event of the year – EMC World. The conference seems to get better every year and I’m sure this year will be no exception.
This year’s theme, “Lead your Transformation,” may mean something different for each attendee, but there is no doubt in my mind that transformation will happen. Why is this conference such a wonderful event for me? It’s simple. I learn many new things and, as my colleague Tom Clancy recently said in his post, Smarter People Do Better Things for Their Business.
Much of what I learn comes from talking with our customers. Whether talking to them one on one, or listening to the comments and questions brought forth in one of the sessions, I love to hear what our customers have to say. Everything I learn from our customers will be factored into our planning so we can continue to offer the best customer service experience.
I hope you plan to join us in Las Vegas May 6-9, but if you are unable to be there, I hope you will participate from your desktop, where you will be able to watch keynotes, general sessions, and other content live. We look forward to helping you succeed as you ride the wave of transformation in cloud, Big Data, and trusted IT.
