Introducing the Shootout
The Shootout is targeted toward Practitioners, for Vendors, hosted by and presented by Vendors. The intent is to create a platform where the Vendor community is able to demonstrate how they individually (or specifically) contribute to the overarching needs of the IT Management community.
The day will be divided into 4 main presentation windows; 3 of these being the Vendor ShootOuts and one being the keynote presentation. Each Shootout will be a 60 minute window broken into two 20 minute presentation slots and a 20 minute Q&A session. Each Vendor will be able to present their wares, ideas, concepts, beliefs to the audience around one of the topics listed in the topic section. The Q&A session will allow the audience to pose questions giving both presenters the opportunity to respond.
3 of the 7 sessions based on a first filled basis, i.e., both vendor slots must be filled. The first 3 slots filled will be utilized at the event.
Each vendor will only be permitted to present / host one Shoot-Out.
