PROSPECTUS

ABOUT THE EVENT:
The first ever Container World event took place in Silicon Valley on February 16-18, 2016,
bringing together leaders in the industry for a strategic discussion on the business implication
of container technology, along with technical sessions and real-life case studies.
With an impressive lineup of 70 expert speakers, the two-track agenda included presentations
from Docker, Capital One, AWS, Google, IBM, Red Hat, Ubuntu, CoreOS, PayPal and Mesosphere,
plus many more. The event provided unparalleled learning opportunities, kickstarting with an
“Introduction to Containers” training day on February 16, followed by high-level keynote
presentations, real-world end-user business and technical use cases, and lively panel
discussions!
Container World is a true ecosystem event, addressing the strategic implications of containers
and the associated trends as they disrupt the cloud market. The event offers sponsors and
exhibitors an unrivalled opportunity to meet existing and potential customers from around the
world.
The feedback from 2016 has been tremendously positive, and we’re excited to bring you the
second installment of Container World in February 2017!
I look forward to working with you.

THANK YOU TO LAST YEAR’S SPONSORS & EXHIBITORS:
“I had the pleasure of working with Melinda and the Container World folks in the speed
networking round. I must say it’s refreshing to be at an event that allows vendors one-on-one
time with important figures at enterprise organizations. I appreciate the 3-minute drill – give
the ‘elevator pitch’, see if it’s sinking in or bouncing off, answer a few short questions, collect
the business cards, bell rings and you’re on to the next prospect. I go to conferences quite
often and this networking speed round is unique – I definitely want more!”

“Having attended the ‘inaugural’ Container
World conference in Santa Clara, CA; I was
extremely impressed on the organization and
professionalism displayed by Informa who produced and
ran the show. Of particular interest to me was the ‘Speed
Networking’ sessions which proved to be even much more
successful and lucrative (from an enduser perspective) than I would
have ever imagined.
This ‘Speed Networking’ conference feature is extremely valuable to both
end-users and vendors which are trying to maximize their effectiveness
while at the event, with a limited amount of time. I would STRONGLY
recommend Container World to future container constituents!”
PRINCIPAL PRODUCT MANAGER, VERITAS TECHNOLOGIES, LLC
SPONSORING THE 2ND ANNUAL CONTAINER
WORLD IS A GREAT WAY TO ENGAGE WITH OUR
AUDIENCE AND PROVIDE THOUGHT
LEADERSHIP. WE HAVE VARIOUS WAYS IN
WHICH YOU CAN CONNECT WITH
PARTICIPANTS, WHETHER IT BE THROUGH
BRAND AWARENESS, LEAD GENERATION,
JOINING A SPEAKER PANEL OR SHOWCASING
YOUR PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS.
SPEAKING
A great way to engage with our audience
and provide thought-leadership.
Opportunities include participating as
independent speaker during the
conference, a track chair, a panel
member, a pre-conference workshop host
and more. It’s entirely your choice.
BRANDING
Vital for raising and maintaining brand
awareness, we offer six sponsorship tiers,
from our entry-level Bronze sponsorship
right up to our leading and exclusive Title
Sponsor position. We also offer custom
opportunities to highlight your brand to a
specific niche audience or expand the reach
to a broader audience through additional
marketing and promotional opportunities.
NETWORKING
With outstanding feedback from our 2016
sponsors about their networking experience,
we are bringing all the features back, plus
more! Work with our VIP team to set up 1-1
meetings, participate in speed networking
sessions, and meet and mingle with like-
minded business professionals at our
networking after party!
EXHIBITING
The perfect way to showcase your products
and services!
We can offer turn key table-top style solutions
(power, carpet, wireless internet, table and
chairs included) or you can bring a custom
designed booth.

INTERACT,
DISCOVER AND
NETWORK
HOSTED LUNCH TABLES
The perfect way to showcase your products and solutions.
Enjoy lunch at tables hosted by our expert speakers, and
spend valuable time with key people in the industry in an
informal setting and get your questions answered.
1-ON-1 FACILITATED
NETWORKING
Our VIP execs ensure you will meet
likeminded individuals and make the most of
your time at the 2nd Annual Container World.
Work with our VIP Team to secure 1 on 1
meetings! Our VIP team has had bountiful
amounts of success with connecting our
sponsors to our high level audience. We will
send you the attendee list, you pick out who
you want to meet, and we do the rest! We will
make introductions, suggest available times,
send calendar invites, and facilitate the
meetings onsite. This feature has been one
of the best perks about being a sponsor at
Container World and has enabled our
sponsors to create meaningful partnerships
with key stakeholders.
CONTAINER MEET-UP
Providing additional opportunities for
evening networking with food and beer,
while attending more great sessions.
SPEEDNETWORKING:
Back by popular demand, Speed Networking
returns to Container World with bigger and
better features! Meet with our top VIPs and
Speakers through a series of short 3 minute
introductions, “speed dating” style. This
buzzworthy networking event has led to great
potential leads for our sponsors in creating
new business opportunities. Sponsor today to
take part in this noteworthy event!
The level of professionalism we experienced was noteworthy. Informa did a fantastic job confirming
face-to-face meetings with attendees interested in our technology, which maximized everyone's time at
the event. Perhaps the most innovative offering was a "speed networking" session held on both days.
Not only a fun way to meet a LOT of people in a short period of time, but a great way to expand business
opportunities with people we might not have otherwise connected with. Informa did an excellent job
with Container World and I look forward to participating in more of their events in the future!
GLOBAL DIRECTOR, STRATEGIC ALLIANCES & PARTNERSHIPS, KAAZING
“Thoroughly enjoyed container world.
Specifically the speed networking session.”

“The speed networking was one of the coolest parts of Container World 2016. It takes a lot of
work to force yourself to make the rounds with vendors and fellow participants at a
conference and make connections. The speed networking dramatically simplified the
process. The result for me was more LinkedIn connections, more references, more business
cards, more post-conference demos, and thus a more valuable conference. Great job!”
