The event starts with a keynote speech by Forrester Research Principal Analyst Mike Gualtieri, entitled, "The Velocity of Business Requires In-Memory Computing." In this presentation, Mr. Gualtieri will discuss the business, technology, and market trends that pushed in-memory from a nice-to-have to a must-have application development platform. John Webster, Forbes columnist and Evaluator Group Senior Partner, will present a closing keynote, "In-Memory Computing and the Emergence of Tier -1 Storage," focused on the new and even higher performance persistent data storage layer that is emerging and will enable broad adoption of the as yet unrealized power of real time computing.
