Commvault : 21 Things About Connections21 You Can’t Miss

By Miranda Foster

It's no secret that here at Commvault, we are beyond excited for Commvault Connections21: it's the industry's premier hybrid data services event.

We're welcoming folks virtually to into our headquarters for three hours of programming, featuring incredible keynotes from our executives, customers, and expert guest. We also have exciting breakout and roadmap sessions, and the opportunity to chat one-on-one with experts. Basically, we can't wait to get started and share what we've been developing with you. If you weren't already excited enough, don't worry, we have 21 things about Connections21 to get you jazzed for the big event….

Our Exclusive Keynotes

Not only are we featuring Commvault CEO Sanjay Mirchandani, but did you know we're featuring speakers from ADP and AWS? We'll be joined by Dave Martin, the Chief Security Officer at ADP and Stephen Orban, GM, AWS Marketplace and Control Services (who literally wrote the book on cloud)-how's that for an all-star line up?

Our keynote customer panel

There is no more important voice than that of our customer, and we are excited to hear from them. Moderated by our incredible emcee, Lauren Schwartz (Google her-she's a regular on the Today Show), the panel will feature Christopher Rein, CTO, State of New Jersey, John Gallagher, Senior Manager of Global Enterprise Infrastructure, Syncreon and our rockstar Reza Morakabati.
