The fast-paced Hot Seat Sessions have been a trademark of ISC for many, many years. No other event in the world features a session where the audience has the unique opportunity to get a compact, comprehensive overview of the current market from top vendors. ISC attendees love these Hot Seat Sessions.
For ISC Cloud’10 we have adopted this idea from ISC by offering two “Hot Cloud Sessions” on Thursday and Friday. In each session, three leading Cloud vendor representatives have ten minutes each to present their latest developments, new products and strategies. They then have to answer two tricky questions from two hand-picked so-called “inquisitors”. You just have to be there to see how vendors send their best people into the arena to fight for their products. The vendor representatives do not know beforehand the two probing questions, and they will have to defend themselves for five long minutes.
