West Chester, OH – August 10, 2009 — iNET Interactive has announced today the location and date for the sixth annual HostingCon, the world’s largest conference and trade show serving the hosted services industry. HostingCon 2010 will be held in Austin, Texas, on July 19-21 at the Austin Convention Center located in the heart of the Texas Capital.
HostingCon attracts web hosts, data centers, software-as-a-service (SaaS), ISPs and other infrastructure providers from around the world. In 2009, HostingCon attendees represented more than thirty countries. Whether traveling from near or far, HostingCon attendees expect a high-class location to do business as well as to relax and enjoy the time away.
“For HostingCon 2010, we wanted to find an easily accessible, and technologically-focused location surrounded by great entertainment,” explained Kelly Kleiner, VP of Sales at iNET Interactive. “The Austin Convention Center recently installed a state-of-the-art communication infrastructure, it’s just 7.5 miles from the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, and it’s walking distance to world-class dining, entertainment and hotels.” Austin is also home to the famed South by Southwest conference (SXSW), an annual film, music and interactive conference and festival that draws more than 5,000 tech-savvy attendees.
On any given night, live music plays at any of nearly 200 venues throughout the city. In the early 1990s, the sheer number of music venues earned Austin the title of “Live Music Capital of the World,” a title it still holds today. Austin is also one of the country’s top technology cities and recently Entrepreneur magazine named it one of the top cities in the country for entrepreneurs. Top technology companies including Dell, Samsung, Advanced Micro Devices as well as many large data centers and hosting companies are located around Austin.
“We recognize that HostingCon attendees not only come to learn, network and grow but to also have fun.” stated Troy Augustine, President, and CEO of iNET Interactive, the producer of HostingCon. “Austin, Texas, provides the perfect combination of work and play and therefore it is an ideal location for HostingCon 2010.”
