Westcoast Ignite Partner Symposium 2017 - A View From The Top

By Lee Prior

Well it’s been a week since the event and already I’ve had several people asking me when the next Ignite Partner Symposium is likely to be. Short answer is “not until 2018,” but that’s not to say you won’t have every opportunity to learn more about Westcoast, HPE, Microsoft and all the subject matter that was discussed during another great day.

Those partners that made the trip 500ft up to Landing 42 of the Leadenhall Building on the 27th April were treated not only to a great view across our Capital, but also some insightful and informative presentations on the direction and relative benefits of Hybrid IT, an enthusiastic and thought-provoking session on Aruba, IOT and all things Mobility from Eugene Berger, and details on the future role of Simplivity from European VP John Lucey to name but a few.

There was plenty to talk about during the networking sessions, plenty to discover at the various event stands and as far as I know everybody made it up and down in the glass elevator without any panic attacks…although I understand there were a few close calls, me included! All in all the day was a great success and the show reel is available for those that were unable to join to get a feel for what was discussed.

“I attended to be educated, inspired and energised and the event certainly did that for me personally and as a representative of the Brighter Connections Group.”

“Westcoast’s Ignite Symposium defied gravity more than merely hosting in London’s highest event space  It was a delight to show our customers how we can really help them with their HPE sales and introduce a range of new technologies recently acquired by HPE. I look forward to working with all our partners to both get closer and more important thus increasing Westcoast's ever greater gravitational force.”
