NetApp’s Insight Conference Delayed

Message from George Kurian, NetApp, Inc.‘s CEO:

All NetApp Insight Attendees,

I am shocked and saddened by the tragic event that occurred in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay last night. I am sure you all share these sentiments. My heart and the hearts of thousands of NetApp employees break for the loved ones of those affected by the terrible events.

My executive staff and I have been in consultation over how to move forward in light of these events. After careful consideration, we have made the decision to move forward with Insight beginning tomorrow morning, Tuesday, October 3 with our 8:30 general session. All Monday events are cancelled along with the Wednesday night’s Appreciation event at the Hard Rock Resort and Casino.

I encourage you to make the decision that is right for you about whether to participate or not. If you choose to participate, we look forward to welcoming you at Insight. Please note, we will have increased security at the event. The Mandalay Bay Hotel is open with a normal check-in process.

When tragedy strikes, community is more important than ever. NetApp is committed to supporting the people of Las Vegas and will be sharing our plan with you along with other information shortly. NetApp will stand strong in the face of senseless violence and continue with the conference for those who want to attend.
