SAMS Europe 2017

The annual SAMS Europe (September 25 – 26, 2017, Berlin) is the leading international networking event for more than 200 software asset, software license, IT contract and IT procurement experts. Managing SAM Transition and Transformation – companies like Toyota Motor, Carlsberg, Rabobank, Bombardier, AstraZeneca, Siemens, Folksam, Zurich Insurance, Novartis and EDF will share their knowledge and experiences in inspirational keynotes and in well-moderated, interactive world café sessions, private discussion rounds and audit debates. Join in the conversations over 2 days of knowledge exchange to gain a deeper understanding for the importance of balancing between software compliance and cost efficiency. There is still a huge need to exchange experiences and useful approaches for compliant handling of software licenses and assets. Especially against the background of continuous modification of license conditions and models as well as technology changes like virtualization and enterprise mobility. The 6th SAMS Europe focuses on approaches, processes and tools for legally compliant SAM/SLM and is 100% free of auditors and mega vendors. Moreover the conference features the renowned SAMS Europe Award for outstanding SAM and SLM projects. www.sam-strategies.eu/en/award
