Pan European DCA (PEDCA) – Scoping Event held on the 25th September 2013 at the Grange City Hotel, London, EC3N 2BD

The Event kicked off with a series of presentations headed up by DCA Senior Vice President and Emerson CTO Prof Ian Bitterlin, who described the industry’s issues and challenges. Following this, presentations on the project itself and a look at the PEDCA survey results. This got everyone in the right frame of mind for the workshops, which proved extremely valuable. Overall about 200 people attended the event which is a great start in ensuring the project moves ahead with a strong industry participant network to develop a Joint Action Plan for the industry.

The “joint” part of the “action plan” is absolutely essential for the project’s success- and that means you and your colleagues – if you missed this survey and the event this time, don’t worry there is much more to come, but do not miss the opportunity to participate in the next survey coming soon which starts to move into territory that gets serious for all of us – if you would like to participate on PEDCA and are not yet registered, you can do so free a twww.datacentrealliance.org (click on the “get involved” link)
