From October 19-21, the Acronis Global Cyber Summit 2020 will bring together thousands of service providers, developers, sysadmins, distributors, resellers, enterprise IT pros, tech marketers, and sales teams to network, learn, and grow. Completely virtual, this year’s Summit is free to join and packed with events and insights from around the globe that wouldn’t be possible in a purely in-person venue.

Attendees will have the opportunity to take part in more than 30 sessions in four distinct conference tracks, all led by innovators and thought leaders in the community.

And, whether you’re in the Channel, DevOps, Sales and Marketing, or Enterprise IT, we’ll be revealing just why the Acronis Global Cyber Summit needs to be on your calendar for next month.

Delivering engaging insights and visionary perspectives on the future of tech, the Acronis Global Cyber Summit will feature some of the world’s foremost leaders in the community sharing their latest research, experiences, and advice to help keep your team ahead of the curve.
