A few quotes from participant companies*:

​

• H2O.ai – Ingrid Burton, Chief Marketing Officer
  “As a leader in the 2018 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Science and Machine Learning Platforms, H2O.ai is transforming the use of AI for forward-thinking businesses across the globe. We are making it possible for any organization to harness the power of AI in a scalable way with our award-winning open source platform H2O and enterprise-ready platform H2O Driverless AI. We look forward to hosting the AI and Machine Learning edition of the IT Press Tour in October. Europe is an important market for H2O.ai and we are committed to connecting with the region’s large population of data science, machine learning and AI professionals. As part of that commitment, we recently announced our expansion into London and opened a European AI Research Center of Excellence in Prague.”
   

• Kinetica – Daniel Raskin, Chief Marketing Officer
  “We have moved beyond the big data era into the Extreme Data Economy. Businesses increasingly face the challenge of translating massive volumes of complex data at unparalleled speed into critical insights. The IT Press Tour is an excellent opportunity to connect with leading journalists in order to educate the market around the growing importance of data and the technology required to leverage it.”
   

• LogicMonitor – Steve Francis, Founder
  “The wave of digital transformation in Europe is driving the need for an end-to-end solution that automatically monitors on-premises and cloud-based infrastructure, as well as services and applications to truly understand what’s going on so they can continue to be agile and proactive. We look forward to hosting the delegates from the European IT Press Tour and the US IT Media to discuss how LogicMonitor, the leading SaaS-based, performance monitoring platform for Enterprise IT, provides granular visibility into infrastructure and application performance."
   

• Mabl – Izzy Azeri, Co-founder
  "The strides the software industry has made with DevOps and Continuous Integration and Delivery have really sped up development, but that need for speed and reduced time to repair has actually put testing on the back burner. We look forward to hosting leading journalists from IT Press Tour and discussing how Mabl simplifies automated testing so that anyone can fit end-to-end testing into their workflow without a high cost in investment."
   

• Odaseva – Vincent Delamarre, COO & Co-founder
  "With new data protection regulation enforced earlier this year, companies running business critical applications in the cloud cannot afford anymore to not protect and manage their SaaS data. Odaseva provides for larges organizations pre-built data management apps running on its Cloud Data Management Platform to handle a broad range of data management use cases for SaaS solutions like Salesforce. We look forward to hosting the upcoming IT Press Tour delegates and discuss the emerging yet critical need for modern cloud data management."
   

• Platform.sh – Frederic Plais, CEO
  “At Platform.sh, we thrive at enabling developers and product teams to build and deploy digital apps without managing the complexity of the underlying cloud infrastructure. We’re very excited to participate to the San Francisco tour and look forward to passionate discussions with the influential reporters curated by the IT tour organizers.”
   

• Sysdig – Apurva Davé, Chief Marketing Officer
  "Year after year, the IT Press Tour is an event I look forward to. It's a great way to build relationships and discuss an ever-changing technology landscape.”
   

• Yellowfin – Glen Rabie, CEO and Co-founder
  “Europe is a key growth region for Yellowfin, and we look forward to sharing our latest disruptive technology with the members of the European IT Press Tour. We already deliver a Top 5 BI and Analytics platform, but with our latest release, we will change the way businesses look at the effectiveness of their current analytics tools.”
