"We're glad to come back in Boston and meet several hot players for this coming 58th edition. It illustrates, once again, what the tour provides and delivers since 2010 and previous 57 editions. When people judge about a success, the long run and consistency dimensions are paramount and again the tour is a perfect example of these values. In a few days, we'll visit 8 companies, meet top executives and leaders, disruptors and innovators, with companies we already met like HYCU who beats the record of participation and passes 10. Regarding statistics, this 58th edition will reach new levels with 320 distinct companies for 556 sessions, the ball is rolling and appears to be unstoppable..." said Philippe Nicolas, creator of The IT Press Tour.

With quotes from some participating companies for this coming edition:​
​

• Mark Ward, COO, Congruity360
  "Congruity360 announces unstructured data modernization for AI, delivering massive infrastructure savings while reducing security and sensitive data risk! We are eager to meet with The IT Press Tour in Boston to discuss the latest advancements in Congruity360’s proactive AI-optimization data management platform. We’ll also share insights on how our customers are leveraging this technology to drive the AI revolution forward.”
   

• Simon Taylor, Founder and CEO, HYCU
  "The IT Press Tour, aka ITPT, has always been an incredible way to introduce your company, solutions, and market interest before a knowledgeable and influential group of media from Europe and North America. Philippe has his finger on the pulse of what is emerging, who is driving innovation, and separating the noise from what is truly meaningful. HYCU has launched a number of new and compelling solutions and initiatives at ITPT. What makes ITPT so special is to see the reaction firsthand to innovations that no one else in the industry is delivering. That alone makes the experience unique. We are looking forward to hosting ITPT in our Boston Headquarters for the first time and highlighting how far HYCU R-Cloud, the #1 SaaS Data Protection Platform, has come when we introduced it at ITPT in January 2023." 
   

• Tony Falco, VP Marketing, Hydrolix
  "Organizations lose tremendous value when they walk away from their log data too quickly—in many cases, just 90 days after it's generated. Sometimes it’s for budgetary reasons – traditional log analysis is expensive – and sometimes because these legacy platforms just can’t handle the volumes of data generated today. Hydrolix helps media, finance, and gaming companies, online retailers and others keep that log data hot and easily queryable for a year or more, allowing them to unlock trends and insights that otherwise go undiscovered. At The IT Press Tour, we're going to showcase some important product advancements that make an already enterprise-grade platform operating at global scale even more performant and powerful. And, we'll highlight some of the more interesting users and use cases." 
   

• Grady Lambert, General Manager, Swissbit NA
  "Swissbit is thrilled to debut at the upcoming IT Press Tour in Boston. Despite having our headquarters in Switzerland and our semiconductor production based in Berlin, we've chosen Boston for this premiere due to our US presence since 2003 and our SSD development center in Westford, MA, established in 2014. We look forward to providing the journalists with exclusive insights into our latest advancements in storage solutions, including specialized SSD solutions for AI and Edge Server Applications. Additionally, we are eager to showcase our expanding security portfolio, featuring cutting-edge authentication solutions such as the iShield Key series, through which we aspire to become a leading provider of FIDO2 solutions in North America."
   

• Michael Welts, Chief Marketing Officer, Wasabi Technologies
  "As one of technology’s fastest-growing companies, Wasabi partners with visionary companies worldwide to help them put their data to work without unnecessary fees or other hindrances, giving them the freedom to innovate. Our continued global expansion, most recently in Milan, means we are scaling the delivery of Wasabi hot cloud storage, as well as our other standout solutions like Wasabi AiR intelligent media storage, multi-user authorization, and more ahead. We look forward to welcoming world-renowned technology journalists to Boston as part of the IT Press Tour, and to share these exciting updates that are driving our industry forward."​
