This facility fuses the most advanced racing simulation with real world racing to create a totally new and entertaining sport – perfect for an experience seeking audience.
The audience for this event will comprise CIOs, CTOs, IT managers, data centre managers, infrastructure managers, facilities professionals, networking engineers and consultants. 70 places are available at each event, with a programme that visits London, Amsterdam, Madrid and Paris.

"Ultimate performance is an obvious theme with the world-class racing venue chosen for this event," explained Siemon's managing director Steven Foster. "We believe that improvement strategies for data centres must focus first on essential performance, whilst also addressing other critical demands in terms of efficiency and environmental responsibility. Just like Pure Tech, we want to put everyone in the driver's seat; making our subjects as engaging as possible. The speaker line up provides an unmatched opportunity for data centre professionals to hear best practice improvement advice and gain access to industry experts with invaluable expertise to share."
