Event Overview
Senior leaders are being asked to make long‑term technologyÂ
and investment decisions at a time when clarity is hard to come by.
Across the landscape, organisations are facing:
- Ongoing supply chain and memory constraints
- Pressure to modernise infrastructure and enable AI
- Conflicting guidance on availability, cost and timing
A disconnect between market optimism and day‑to‑day operational reality.
This event is designed to give leaders something genuinely useful:Â
a clear, experience‑led view of what’s really happening - and how peers are responding in practice.
Â
What makes this event different?
This is not a traditional vendor event. CDW, HPE and AMD are bringing together a small number of leaders for a peer‑level discussion, focused on clarity rather than commentary.Â
You can expect:
- A straight-talking, unbiased update on the current
infrastructure and memory landscape - Honest perspective on what has changed - andÂ
what has not - Real‑world insight into how organisations areÂ
adjusting refresh, AI and investment decisions - Open discussion without product pitches or aÂ
sales agenda
The objective is confidence in decision‑making - not reassurance for its own sake.
A clear view on memory and supply-chain constraints
As part of the executive session, you can expect to:Â
- Hear the latest news and updates on the forces driving current memory and storage constraints, and how AI workloads are reshaping supply and pricing across devices and infrastructure
- Understand why this situation is different from past supply challenges, including how recurring macroeconomic pressures are changing global supply paradigms
- Gain clarity on the latest impacts being experienced across the technology stack — including servers, storage and cloud platforms — where availability and cost pressures have primarily emerged
- Hear what CDW’s partner community is advising, including the current impact on lead times, allocation and pricing, and understand how CDW’s practical strategies and real-world tactics can reduce risk and maintain continuity in a volatile market
Who Should Attend
