TechWave Goes Global as Sybase Adds Multiple Locations to Its Annual User Conference

In today's economic climate, many companies, including Sybase(R) customers, are facing restrictions on travel and non-critical expenditures. In addition, a significant percentage of TechWave attendees represent countries outside of North America. To help address these factors, Sybase has decided to move to a global regional conference model and bring its user conference closer to its customers.

"Sybase is doing what all tech marketers need to do right now: be nimble, opportunistic, and change-oriented. IDC research shows that, in general, customers prefer more intimate, localized events," said Richard Vancil, Vice President, Executive Advisory Group, IDC.

"We want to do our utmost to ensure that customers around the world continue to benefit from attending our annual TechWave conference. Hence to make it easier for them to attend, we have decided to take our user conference to them," said Dr. Raj Nathan, Chief Marketing Officer at Sybase. "On the heels of the best quarter and year in our company history, we're fortunate to be able to take TechWave on the road."

Many loyal attendees have returned year after year for in-depth technical training, networking activities, inside information on new product developments, tech support, and face-to-face interaction with Sybase experts, partners and peers.

"As part of our ongoing commitment to our customer education, we're dedicating additional resources to bring the training closer to them," added Dr. Raj Nathan.

Sybase will be hosting a number of two-day regional events in major cities around the world, throughout the second half of 2009. These regional events will contain both business and technical content. For more information on Sybase TechWave, please visit:
