“END USER / BUYER / SPECIFIER OF THE FUTURE” SCHEME:
Based on an ever-increasing number of requests and feedback from our industry contacts, we’ve started making a conscious effort to encourage our end user guests to bring an “end user of the future” to our events which we feel will help a lot of rising stars in the industry as they are just setting out on their career path. This might be a graduate engineer or someone in a junior operations or procurement role for example. Obviously, it still does include any sales, business development or marketing roles.
Due to the success of this initiative, we find we need to set out some guidelines for these potential attendees.
- An End User of the Future must be nominated by a senior manager. It is expected that this manager will accompany the EUOF during the evening as a mentor, to provide some guidance and introductions.
- Only one EUOF per Senior Manager may attend each event.
- All attendees must be over the age of 21 and photo ID will be required from anyone that looks under this age.
- Registrations received from EUOF will not be authorised unless arrangements have been made with DATACENTRE.ME in advance.
- If the number of attendees for any one company exceeds 8 for an event, the EUOF ticket will be revoked in favour of more senior guests.
- Nominations should include job title, role and reason for attending. These should be emailed to event@datacentre.me
Please take a moment to read through the below T&Cs for further details and email us at event@datacentre.me should you have any questions.
