Global Institute Special Experiences Currently Available

There has been great excitement surrounding the 2019 Global Institute in Silicon Valley, and, as we expected, due to the unique nature of the venue at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, we have now reached capacity for the programming on-site at HPE and the Visionary Awards.

We are grateful for everyone who has registered to attend Institute, however we realize that many members are still interested in participating. Therefore we are delighted to extend two special experiences that will enable you to attend a portion of the Institute and network with your peers.
