A quick case-study - HP had been a sponsor of SNW Europe since its inception in 2001 but did not attend in 2009.  They re-assessed the events in 2010 after the introduction of Virtualization World and Datacenter Technologies alongside SNW Europe and decided to return based on the wider reach and broader audience. "We've had great success with SNW Europe. This is one of the premier storage events in Europe to reach customers and partners, and we've been very happy with the ROI we've seen from our participation. For 2010 alone we are estimating a 50-fold return on our investment." said ShannahThompson, EMEA Marketing Manager, Storage, HP Europe, Middle East & Africa.
