About The Summit

Fujifilm is pleased to welcome our valued customers from around the world to attend our 12th Annual Global IT Executive Summit. Join us for a three-day educational conference featuring presentations from industry experts, analysts, vendors and end users about the latest trends and best practices in data management and storage. Speaker panels, Q & A sessions and peer-to-peer networking make this a unique “must attend” storage industry event.

This year the Summit takes place in the beautiful city and surroundings of San Diego where cutting-edge sustainability initiatives set an example for the rest of the world and every industry to observe and follow as we emerge from the global pandemic only to face the global threat of climate change.

Attendees from any industry will be able to gain valuable insights from our distinguished speakers and better understand how to optimize a storage strategy post Covid-19 with the evolving use of cloud, IoT, and how diverse technologies fit together to meet the challenge of exponential data growth in the zettabyte age.
