Infra/STRUCTURE Summit 2023

WHEN: 4-5 October 2023
WHERE: Toronto, Canada

WHY: Structure Research has established infra/STRUCTURE as a pivotal annual event, replacing outdated legacy conventions. It serves as a crucial nexus for Internet infrastructure leaders to engage, exchange insights, and forge business relationships within a context enriched by third-party research and expert opinions. In an era calling for unity within the infrastructure services sector, infra/STRUCTURE stands out as a beacon for collaboration. It emphasizes the necessity of synergies rather than traditional supplier-vendor dynamics, acknowledging the vital integration of novel components into the evolving cloud and infrastructure landscape.
