Event Recap
RECAP | 2019 EMEA Uptime Institute Network Spring Conference - Istanbul - 10th-12th April
Our inaugural conference in Turkey was our largest EMEA Network conference to date, with 93 attendees from across 33 companies from 10 countries.
Our opening day was mainly an interactive one, kicking off with lively Roundtables on DCIM, Physical Security and Chargeback and billing, where it was widely thought 1 hour was not enough time! this was followed by Andy, Fred and Pitt giving us an update from the Industry globally and Nick Archer and Pitt Turner looking deeper and giving their insights into some of the questions from Inside Track recently. This was followed by a boat trip down the Bosphorus to enjoy some wonderful Turkish hospitality and food for the evening.
Day 2 was turned over to the joint hosts, Türkiye İş Bankası and Turkcell, who filled the morning with excellent updates on both their organisation and their teams journeys towards Operational Sustainability. After lunch the attendees split to battle through the Istanbul traffic to tour either Türkiye İş Bankası or Turkcell facilities, followed by the anticipated feedback session. We were also lucky to be able to recognise 5 local TCDD recipients and 3 TCCF's in an awards ceremony during our Networking Drinks
On Day 3 we kicked off with our new "Innovation Session" featuring a quick update from each member company present on an issue, change or challenge their organisation or team has faced recently, followed by update on topics such as Climate Change, Hybrid Resiliency and Data center outages from the Uptime Institute Team, with Meltem rounding off the conference with an update on the Turkish Data Center Market.
A huge thank you to our hosts, Türkiye İş Bankası and Türkcell for welcoming us to their facilities and their updates and insights on Day 2, and to all conference attendees for their enthusiastic input throughout
