Elevate your expertise: Experience Atmosphere + Discover 2024

event-featured-atmosphere-2024_600x340.jpgGet ready for an unparalleled tech immersion at Aruba Atmosphere and HPE Discover 2024, where industry titans converge to shape the future of networking. If you are looking for a reason to attend this year, start with these seven.

Each year, I eagerly anticipate the convergence of thousands of industry experts, customers, and peers at Aruba Atmosphereโ€”the pinnacle event in networking. But this year marks a departure from the ordinary for HPE, evident to anyone not living under a rock in recent months.

With sweeping changes underway across multiple fronts, our June 17-20 conference in Las Vegas stands as the ultimate compass for navigating what lies ahead. To ensure you're ahead of the curve, I'm here to unveil seven reasons why this year's event promises to be nothing short of an epic industry gathering you simply can't afford to miss.

Experience Atmosphere x2

With Aruba Atmosphere joining HPE Discover 2024 for the first time, you get a two-for-oneโ€”double the content in the same location. The keynote, general sessions, and breakouts will provide a first-hand look at how the convergence of edge, hybrid cloud, and AI will reshape global business. The sessions will give you a fresh perspective on market shifts happening now and how to respond and adjust to the transformations ahead with AI-powered networking and as-a-service deployment models.

Attend the first-ever keynote at Sphere

You didnโ€™t spring for concert tickets at the Sphere yet, but you still want to impress your friends? Weโ€™ve got you. Join Antonio Neri, HPE President and CEO, when he takes the stage with special guest NVIDIA Founder and CEO Jensen Huang for an epic, first-ever keynote at Sphere.

Besides the keynote, other industry luminaries will headline at Discover. In a Tech Talk, enterprise technology visionary David Linthicum, an analyst for theCUBE Research, will discuss why companies are making a startling exit from the cloud and how they are reimagining tech landscapes. Penny Madsen, IDC Senior Research Director, will lead another Tech Talk on cloud adoption trends focused on using the hybrid highway.

Ask our execs your hardest questions

Set yourself a calendar reminder for the HPE Aruba Networking Executive Q&A on Thursday afternoon, a no-holds barred session where you can ask your hardest questions. Our executives Ash Chowdappa, Richard Gough, Jon Green, Sylvia Hooks, David Hughes, and Phil Mottram will be ready to answer! 

See live solutions unleashed

Come to the HPE Discover Showcase and witness the power of HPE solutions in person. Join us firsthand and participate in live, action-packed demos of the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform. Engage with experts, immerse yourself in discovering the latest AI and edge innovation, and learn how customers across every industry are driving whatโ€™s next.

Deep dive into the Airheads trackโ€”and more

The Airheads track is still designed by network engineers for network engineers. You will find the conference agenda has expanded, with a record-setting 162 sessions. Check out the Atmosphere Edge line-up, where you can learn the latest in security-first, AI-powered networking, SASE, and private 5G. If you are a solutions partner, be sure to join in on the Atmosphere Partner Forum to learn how you can grow your business with HPE Aruba Networking.

When you need to rest and recharge, stop by the Airheads community lounge for a snack and some (battery) juice. You make even make some new friends! 

Elevate your career with training and certifications

Weโ€™re dedicating more hours than ever before to our technical training programs. Our two training optionsโ€”HPE Tech Pro University and Atmosphere Technical Trainingโ€”give you access to accelerated, face-to-face technical courses on edge-to-cloud innovations. Taught by HPE-certified instructors, courses include lectures and hands-on labs.

To culminate your training, you can validate your knowledge, skills, and abilities with certification exams in the Pearson VUE exam center. (One certification exam is included with each conference pass.)

Watch sustainability in action

Witness HPE's commitment to sustainability firsthand, as we pioneer eco-friendly practices to minimize our environmental footprint from the event. See for yourself the protocols and sustainability tactics we have in place to go green.

Be in the room where it happens

HPE Aruba Networkingโ€™s leadership position is moving forward rapidly, and Iโ€™ll be joining a few hundred of my HPE colleagues in Las Vegas to talk to you about how we are executing our strategy and innovating our networking product lines with more intelligence, security, and automation. Donโ€™t gamble with the future and get left behind because you stayed home. See you in Las Vegas.
