July 6 2010 - The itSMF UK is extremely excited to announce that the headline Platinum sponsor for the 2010 itSMF UK Conference will be IT Management experts Pink Elephant. The itSMF event will be held on 8th and 9th November 2010 at the Novotel London West.
“Pink Elephant becoming our Platinum sponsor this year demonstrates both the level of excitement in this year’s event and Pink Elephant’s commitment to IT Service Management (ITSM) globally, particularly here in the UK as the home of ITSM,” commented itSMF UK’s Chief Executive Keith Aldis. “This year’s event is already shaping up to be our best. Not only are we moving it to London for the first time, but coupled with the powerful programme we’ve just released, we really are looking forward to a memorable conference.”
This year sees the event move to the UK capital for the first time and so far the delegate bookings have shown how this move, alongside a high quality programme across the 2 days, has been viewed in the marketplace as bookings for the event are so far well ahead of 2009’s event. The event has been running for 19 years and has long been seen as the best ITSM event in the UK, Europe and across the globe.
“Becoming the Platinum sponsor for this year’s event aligns perfectly with our strategy for growth,” added Pink Elephant UK’s new CEO Marcus Harris. “We’ve long been seen as leaders in ITSM and have worked with itSMF across the world for over 19 years. Becoming the Platinum sponsor is a great way to demonstrate our commitment to the market, our customers, and builds a close relationship with itSMF which is beneficial as we enter this period of rapid business development.”
The itSMF UK Conference and the itSMF generally are dedicated to helping organisations getting the most out of their IT Services. To view the event, please go to the itSMF UK Conference home page:
