The Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek hosted the 7x24 Change Spring Conference, June 3-6, 2018. Approximately 650 vendors and endusers attended the event, which was filled with social and networking opportunities along with keynotes and breakout sessions.
7x24 Exchange was founded as the Uninterruptible Uptime Users Group in November of 1989. The founders recognized that IT and facilities professionals worked in separate silos and that operating in this manner was not beneficial for the business they support. The founders Ken Brill, Dennis Cronin, Paul Fox, Alan Freedman, Frank Gialanella, John Jackson, and Howard Levison had a vision to conduct meetings with IT and Facility professionals and the consultants and vendors that support the Mission Critical industry so they would gain a better understanding of the challenges each faced and would begin to work closer together for the benefit of the business. In all, 16 people attend the first meeting in a Wall Street conference room.
