West Chester, OH (PRWEB) September 18, 2014 -- Data Center World Fall 2014 attendees will receive insight from two industry leaders who will present keynote addresses in Orlando, Oct. 19-22. Marcus Shipley, CIO at CHE Trinity Health will present Convergence and Change … Perspective Is Worth 80 IQ Points and Jennifer Torlone, senior director, technology and information services at Amerijet will present It’s Not BS: Your People ARE Your Greatest Asset. The speakers bring more than 40 years of combined data center and information technology experience to share with the attendees of Data Center World 2014.
“We are very excited about this year’s keynote speakers. They have a vast range of experience and knowledge that our attendees are eager to absorb,” said Tom Roberts, chairman of the Data Center World Conference and president of AFCOM. “The global educational opportunities at Data Center World provide the tools and information that industry professionals need to advance their experience and careers.”
The conference’s closing session, from Jason Plaff, vice president of operations at IO and AFCOM’s 2014 Data Center Manager of the Year, will be How a Modular Approach Can Allow Flexibility to Match Business Strategy. In addition, ground-breaking topics include panels on Women in Data Centers and Data Centers of the Future, Disruptive Technologies in the Big Data Ecosystem and New Data Center Sizing and Density Standards.
“Our work must be speedy, efficient and aligned with changing industry demands, so simplifying solutions and improving our agility are priorities,” said CHE Trinity Health’s Marcus Shipley. “I look forward to Data Center World’s fall conference and to discussing how others in the IT industry can help us achieve these objectives.”
“Every day, IT Leaders and IT Departments are being asked to do more with less, to justify every expenditure with an ROI, human capital not precluded,” said Jennifer Torlone of Amerijet. “We need to plan, outsource effectively, reorganize, and reinvent teams of exceptional individuals who embrace empowerment, innovate, make confident decisions and move the team towards a shared vision. I look forward to sharing my experiences with the attendees of Data Center World and to show the positive impacts made on the business.”
