Tier1 Research, a division of high tech industry analyst firm The 451 Group, will host its 5th annual Hosting Transformation Summit - North America on September 14-16 at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. The conference provides in-depth analysis on the hosting and Internet infrastructure sectors.

The event agenda is set to include a deep dive into topics including how hosting and colocation providers can actually take advantage of the current economic climate, the impact of 'the cloud' on hosting providers, the new wave of disaster recovery and much more. Because Las Vegas is the backdrop for the event, day one of HTS NA will conclude with Tier1's wildly popular annual Hosting Poker Tournament, which will place attendees at the table across from their biggest competitor – or their next partner.

Current sponsors for the event are set to consist of some industry heavy hitters, including but not limited to: Microsoft, DH Capital, Digital Realty Trust, Signal Hill, Parallels, Carpathia Hosting, DuPont Fabros Technology, Fortrust, Interxion, Quality Technology Services, Schneider Electric, Turbine Air Systems (TAS), SunGard Availability Services, TelecityGroup and Verizon Business.

Registration is now open.

"Our fifth annual Hosting Transformation Summit presents attendees with a unique venue where they can not only speak candidly with their peers about the future of the industry, but also take the opportunity to consult directly with Tier1 analysts," said Daniel Golding, Vice President and Research Director of Tier1 Research and Conference Chair. "In addition to an outstanding conference program, our exceptional networking receptions with a senior-level executive audience provide an environment where deals are cut and careers are made."

Hope to see you after work tomorrow at the SageCircle “analyst relations social” in Cupertino, Calif. Carter and Dave are organizing the casual event and footing the bar bill. They expect more than a dozen AR professionals, along with some local analysts and the usual suspects (Rob, me, etc.). Everyone coming has agreed to a strictly social gathering — no sales pitches, no vendor pitches, no IIAR pitches — so it should be fun.

The happy hour will be at the Cupertino Inn (De Anza exit off 280) in the heart of the Silicon Valley gridlock. It will start around 6:00PM and run to 7:30PM or later.

RSVP to Carter at +1 (503) 636-1500 or info [at] sagecircle.com.
