Build for What's Next

Join Tusker for a vendor-free discussion designed for IT leaders navigating today's infrastructure challenges. Every layer of the technology stack is changing, and the biggest question isn't whether you need the latest technology—it's whether you need it at all. We'll cut through the noise around AI, networking, virtualization, and infrastructure modernization to help you make practical decisions that fit your business, not someone else's.

Hear directly from Tusker experts who help organizations modernize, secure, and optimize their infrastructure every day:

Nick Stover – Practice Director, Modern Datacenter, Tusker
Ryan Hanna – Network Solutions Architect, Tusker
Marc Lemke – Chief Technology Office, Tusker

Moderated by John Irey, Vice President of Unified Communications & Connectivity, Tusker.

Following the discussion, enjoy a complimentary lunch and connect with fellow IT leaders from organizations across the region.
