Veeam Software, the #1 leader by market share in data protection and ransomware recovery, today announced its annual flagship customer and partner event VeeamON taking place June 3-5, 2024 at The Diplomat Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. and online. Now in its 10th year, VeeamON combines the latest innovation from Veeam with hands-on learning and the opportunity to connect with the world’s leading community of data experts, IT leaders, and security specialists.
Key speakers this year include Veeam’s CEO, Anand Eswaran, Chief Product Officer, Anton Gostev, Vice President of Enterprise Strategy and Acting CTO, Dave Russell, and Vice President of Product Strategy, Rick Vanover, along with a host of customers, partners, and experts. The event will feature 40+ breakout sessions addressing everything from ransomware threats to data freedom, a solutions expo offering hours of networking opportunities, LabWarz, and exclusive on-site super sessions.
“VeeamON is where the IT data protection and security community comes together to learn, trade ideas, and make connections,” said Rick Jackson, Chief Marketing Officer at Veeam. “As the industry’s premier annual event, we’re excited to host our 10th VeeamON, where we will explore the convergence of data protection, cyber resilience, and artificial intelligence to create a more secure and resilient world. This is where radical resilience happens.”
The latest Veeam Ransomware Trends Report shows the importance of bringing together data protection and IT security teams to align on cyber resilience and ensure businesses not only bounce back from disruption, but bounce forward with resilience. During the event, Veeam will dive deeper into the latest findings of its strategic research on ransomware, providing a comprehensive view of who is most susceptible to attack, how often cyber incidents are happening, and how Veeam helps protect 450,000 customers — including the City of Fort Lauderdale, North Kansas City Schools, Siemens, TechnipFMC, and Ultra Energy — against increasing cyber threats.
Veeam will also provide exclusive insight into its latest product innovations and company news, including Veeam Data Cloud which provides resilient data protection and data recovery for multi-cloud data.
