It is better to tell more about GestaltIT and Tech Field Day which be easier to understand.
Tech Field Day is an special event of GestaltIT which was organized periodically and open to
any delegate all over the world. GestaltIT creates and shares content for IT professionals and works with technology companies to transfer knowledge by scheduling events.
To be honest, when I have first applied for the Tech Filed Day 17 delegate , I was very excited and curious. There were some bloggers, consultants, vExperts, evangelist and much more...
But after the first welcome dinner, I have became a GestaltIT Family member.
For the agenda, We have spectacular presenters like Cisco, Dell EMC, Oracle and first time quests Hammerspace, DriveScale for me. These sessions were great opportunity to be in the Headquarters of the companies and also meet with the engineers, architectects so that you can ask your questions at any time during the Tech Filed Day 17.
"By the way, If you want to be a delegate , it is very easy. Just fill out the delegate form and submit. After filling the form and be selected, Stephen Foskett and Ben Gage will reach you to explain the details. That is all folks!"

Some use cases are cloud analytics with On-Premise Data, global data visibility across silos, discover and prepare data in minutes and lower the cloud data costs.
