Schedule Highlights

A CEO panel will feature five industry CEOs on stage at one time discussing the state of the industry and its future. Participants include Art Zeile, CEO of HOSTING, Lance Crosby, CEO of SoftLayer, Emil Sayegh, President and CEO of Codero Hosting, Kenneth Ziegler, CEO of Logicworks, and Matthew Porter, CEO of Contegix. The panel will be led by Philbert Shih, Managing Director at Structure Research.

This year's keynote address at HostingCon will be Chip Bell, who is the founder and senior partner with The Chip Bell Group, a consulting firm focused on helping organizations create a culture that supports long-term customer loyalty and service innovation. He will speak on “Innovative Service: Strategies for Creating Growth and Bottom Line Impact,” which will provide attendees with inspirational ideas to help make service an exceptional experience for their customers. Bell will draw on more than 20 years working with top decision makers from the world’s leading brands, helping them create ingenious “value unique” strategies instead of pricey value-added schemes.

The first evening of the conference, HostingCon is throwing a 10th Anniversary Party at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel. “Networking opportunities, including our Anniversary Party, at this year’s event will be bigger and better than ever,” says Kevin Gold, Conference Chair of HostingCon.

A tool called HostingCon Connect enables attendees to get in touch with other attendees via email prior to the conference and schedule places and times to meet during the event.
