Additionally, Benetton CTO Peter Caiazzi will provide an end-user perspective for delegates. This event will be the third in an annual and successful series of SNW-E conferences starting in Seville, Spain, in September of 2001 and continuing with Cannes, France, in May of 2002.

"Christine is the most recent in a line of notable technology industry luminaries that have addressed SNW-E attendees and capped a conference agenda that delivers unparalleled educational value for storage professionals."
