June 23, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Utility hosting services provider Layered Technologies (layeredtechnologies.com) announced on Monday that Tier 1 Research (t1r.com) founder Andy Schroepfer will be the keynote speaker for the closing day of LT PACT 2008 (layeredtech.com/ltpact/).
The conference will take place June 25 to 27 at Caesars Palace Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, with Schroepfer to deliver his keynote address, "Transformation Realities in the Hosting Industry" on June 27 at 8:30 a.m.
Scheroepfer also delivered a keynote address at last year's LT PACT 2007, where the WHIR TV had a chance to sit down and talk to him about his presentation and overall impressions about the conference.
Layered Tech previously announced that James Staten, principal analyst, IT infrastructure and operations at Forrester Research, will deliver the opening keynote address, "Cloud / Grid Computing: A Classic Disruptive Technology" on June 26.
Industry analysts, key industry players and hosting-related representatives from WordPress, 3Tera, AMD, HP, Microsoft, SUN, Seagate, Parallels and R1Soft will discuss pertinent information in the industry at the third annual LT PACT, says Layered Tech.
Attendees will be able to learn industry insights, interact with new products in workshops, increase revenue with improved business practices and participate in the free Texas Hold' em Tournament with $5,000 in cash prizes.
"We're excited and honored to have Andy back again this year at LT PACT to deliver the keynote on our second day of the event," says Todd Abrams, president and COO of Layered Technologies. "He will provide highlights on recently released data regarding the transformation occurring in the hosting industry."
The event will kick off the evening of June 25 with a cocktail party featuring an open bar, before concluding the evening of June 27 with a dinner banquet and the Hold'em Poker Tournament.
LT PACT strives to distinguish itself among the many other vendor conferences that take place within the industry each year. In a January interview, Abrams said that although LT PACT is held by a hosting company, it is designed to help attendees and the presenting companies within the context of the environment of Layered Tech's customers and partners.
Layered Technologies has customers in more than 120 countries, providing both large and small customers to rapidly deploy on-demand hosting and utility computing services.
The WHIR TV will be reporting live, on location, to LT PACT 2008.
