September 13 & 14, 2007 - Fairmont Hotel, San Jose, California

The 2007 Application Continuity Conference was the keystone event for everyone focused on mission critical business continuity!

For two days, business, IT, vendor, and industry pioneers joined forces in this interactive, information packed conference. The 2007 Application Continuity Conference was an all-inclusive event that looked far, wide and deep into the issues that business professionals confront in installing, managing, maintaining, and securing the mission critical applications and data that power their business. Face-to-face interaction, the ability to learn about options, and finding solutions was the focus in the conference sessions and vendor gallery at the 2007 Application Continuity Conference. We would like to thank everyone that joined us for helping to make the 2007 Application Continuity Conference a great success!
