5G is hot, hot, hot and we've got, got, got it at BraveIT! For customers, 5G will mean faster speed and better coverage. For carriers, it means more customers and more towers. For IT, it means something else.
There may be some not-so-immediately-obvious impacts from the new technology, like heavier loads on your applications and infrastructure due to the easier access to faster speeds, new sources of data (like IoT, Machine Learning and AI), and ensuring you have the right talent to handle the changes. In this session, we join IT experts in a discussion on the implications and solutions to adapting to the new networking technology.
Speakers: Gabe Sassoon (SVP of Global Operations, Live Nation) on Live Nation’s new VR/AR experience that depends on 5G, Paul Savill (SVP, Core Network and Technology Solutions, CenturyLink Communications) speaking about about the infrastructure elements of 5G in the Americas, and moderated by Tony Rossabi, CRO TierPoint.
Hyperscale (a.k.a., public) clouds have been all the rage. But as more businesses look to the cloud for their data and applications, they’re asking some tough questions: “Is public cloud more economical than private cloud in all cases? Which type of cloud best addresses my company’s unique needs? How does hyperconverged infrastructure change the equation? Are we properly staffed to manage any of the options?”
Industry experts and IT leaders will tackle these and similar questions, to help you make the best decision for your business.
Speakers: Chris Crosby (CEO, Compass Data Centers), Rob Carter, SVP Product Dev & Architecture TierPoint, Analyst Moderator (TBA)

Coder, Dancer, Founder of iLuminate
"I have been dancing since I could walk and became interested in computers when I was about 9 years old, I think that was when my parents bought our first computer. Through childhood and my early career as a software engineer and dancer I kept both those passions separate. Dance was my emotional outlet and engineering kept me challenged mentally. It was not until my breaking point that I came up with the idea to combine them together." -- Thrive Global
After a full day of informative and inspiring presentations and panels, we'll convene on the Intrepid's rooftop flight deck for a special BraveIT Sunset Cocktail Reception featuring a live 10-piece swing band, Eyal Vilner Big Band, and the Intrepid Swing Brigade dancers.
