This 30th edition confirms the market adoption of the tour, illustrating its unique place in the industry." added Philippe.

 

“And multiple new records are beaten following the last edition: 10,300+ articles generated, 203 companies visited, 311 sessions organized and almost 700+ CxO, current registrations will boost the impact of 2019 tour editions.” concluded Philippe Nicolas.

 

With a few quotes supporting the new edition:

​

• Stephanie McReynolds, Vice President of Marketing, Alation
  "Adoption of data catalogs has been tremendous over the last year. Machine Learning Data Catalogs are now being recognized by all of the major industry observers as a high-growth market category. Connecting with the top journalists involved in the IT Press Tour is a great opportunity to contextualize the momentum around data catalogs for data leaders in EMEA and to share the successful adoption of data catalogs by companies like Allegro, Munich Re, and Scout24."
   

• George Fraser, co-founder and CEO, Fivetran
  "Today’s businesses use hundreds of specialized cloud-based tools, and the old approach of highly configurable, human-powered data pipelines has become untenable. Our automated approach solves the most painstaking step of building a data-driven company: centralizing all your data. We've replaced a year-long, IT-driven process with a setup wizard that can be completed in minutes by a business user. For the IT Press Tour, we look forward to hosting EMEA journalists to show them how easy data centralization can really be and also to introduce Fivetran features that help our customers maintain GDPR compliance."
   

• Terry Erisman, VP of Marketing, GridGain Systems
  "Our partnership with IT Press Tour continues to be an extremely effective way to spread the word about how our in-memory computing platform is enabling organizations to achieve the application speed and scalability they require for their digital transformation initiatives. It has also helped us keep European IT media leaders informed about our continued triple digit growth, our rapid expansion in Europe, and the In-Memory Computing Summit we host in Europe."
   

• Kelly Herrell, CEO, Hazelcast
  "Performance at scale is now the core driver for both net new applications and the digitization of legacy systems for the world's largest organizations. In order to support these demands, enterprises are increasingly turning to new technologies, such as Hazelcast's leading in-memory computing platform, and we look forward to discussing market drivers and more with the IT Press Tour."
   

• Taunia Kipp, EVP Corporate Communications, Kaseya
  "We're excited to participate in this year's IT Press Tour. The Tour allows us to meet face-to-face with top tech journalists from across Europe and offers a great opportunity to further strengthen our relationships with the key media outlets who cover our space. Kaseya, and its growing family of brands, has achieved considerable growth across the EU over the last five years and we look forward to sharing our plans for continued growth and expansion in the market through our comprehensive platform for IT infrastructure management, IT Complete."
   

• Rob Whiteley, CMO, NGINX
  "The IT Press Tour is an excellent way to build relationships with key influencers throughout Europe. I've done two press tours in the past and can attribute both awareness and closed business resulting from the coverage. I look forward to hosting my first at NGINX in 2019 and recommend this as a must-have for anyone that is doing business in Europe or looking to improve global awareness."
   

• Kaycee Lai, CEO and Founder, Promethium
  "As a new company looking to extend its reach into the European market, there is no better platform than the IT Press Tour to help us share how our ability to combine governance and analytics into one solution enables enterprises to extract the most value from their data to make informed business decisions while providing the security of knowing you are in compliance with the latest GDPR guidelines."
