Network World invites you to join the HP executive team as they explore how
cloud computing, automation, virtualization and application modernization
will change the way we work.

On February 23rd at the Chelsea Piers, you are invited to attend
<http://events.networkworld.info/t/4422376/332048915/87960/0/?3e076d18=bHV0e
nBmQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ%3d%3d&x=b339178f> Realize the Future, a special
complimentary event focused on what the future will look like, and how you
can start now. Explore the latest technology advances that will change how
IT professionals surpass service levels, trim costs and position their
organizations for greater competitiveness. Featured presenters from the HP
executive team participating in the tour* include:

* Ann Livermore, EVP, HP Enterprise Business
* Tom Hogan, EVP, HP Software & Solutions
* Joe Eazor, SVP and General Manager, HP Enterprise Services
* Dennis Stolkey, SVP, US Public Sector, HP Enterprise Services
* Martin Fink, SVP and General Manager, Business Critical Systems, HP
Enterprise Storage and Servers
* Marius Haas, SVP and General Manager, ProCurve Networking
* Kristina Robinson, VP and General Manager, Business Intelligence
Solutions

Specifically designed for IT management, this half-day agenda respects busy
schedules, offering keynote presentations followed by three tracks of
in-depth discussions around technologies that will change the way we all
work:

* Cloud computing. Behind the amorphous language often used to
describe cloud computing lies tangible efficiency and flexibility. You'll
learn how to build your own private cloud and what you need to know about
sourcing services from the public cloud.
* Automation and virtualization. With boundaries imposed by physical
devices dropping fast, you'll explore the resulting opportunities to boost
IT efficiency, reduce errors, and drastically reduce manual effort, to
improve service levels.
* Application modernization. A radical departure from legacy
application practices, state-of-the-art development and
operations. In this track, the route to decreased cost, increased agility
and reduced risk will be illuminated.

Whether the next technology innovation will explode on the scene or quietly
flip the world upside down, those at the heart of IT direction and
decision-making, like yourself, need to know what's coming down the
pipeline.

Please join HP for a rare glimpse of the future, a chance to see not only
where technology is heading, but how you can prepare to Realize the Future.
