AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS

How the Cloud Powers WOŚP's Grand Finale: From Challenges to Success

The Grand Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity is a unique event that gathers thousands of people from all over Poland and beyond. It's the culmination of months of preparation, where the community comes together to support a common cause.

However, such a large event also brings technological challenges. The intense traffic and increasing use of electronic payment channels during the event push IT systems to their limits. Ensuring the continuity of application operations on local servers is impossible under such growth. Jerzy Ochnio, IT Coordinator at @WOŚP, will discuss how moving the application to the cloud addresses these challenges.

See the opinions of the attendees of OPER8IT

When the organizers explained to me the types of organizations that would be coming the delegates that would be here, it was clearly a very good community of people who are really interested in understanding how IT operations can be put at the center of business performance.

Mark Gallagher-1

Mark Gallagher

Managing Director @ Performance Insights Ltd

For me, a conference like OPER8IT, but also like IT Manager of Tomorrow, is, above all, a chance to meet great people who have very diverse experience and are willing to share it, so even a coffee break is just such an opportunity to meet these people and with talk to them and learn something.

Izabela Gęsicka-1

I think that conference participants will have the opportunity to look at their role a little differently. They will be able to break out of the pattern they may be used to a little bit.
