MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan's ConNEXTions 2013: A Frost & Sullivan Executive MindXchange is now available for virtual attendance.

This high-level program is beneficial to senior level IT and telecommunications executives, particularly those in C-Level positions, such as CIOs, CTOs, CSOs, CISOs, in addition to presidents, VPs and directors. The event will provide critical insights on business continuity, cloud infrastructure, conferencing and collaboration, data security, enterprise platforms and security, mobile connectivity, network convergence, and unified communications, among others.

Virtual participants will benefit from keynote speakers who are pillars in the industry, addressing topics such as "The New Deal with Big Data" and "The Visionary CIO: Driving Technology Innovation for Enterprise Needs and Transformation." Attendees can virtually attend as many as 16 hands-on workshops, and select one of the four strategic modules. Participants can also partake in a panel discussion on "Building Momentum: Bring Your Own Device and The Consumerization of IT." In addition, audiences will gain access to an interview with Ralph Loura, who will speak on how he solved the collaboration issue at The Clorox Company. The benefits of attending include all of this, as well as case studies, success stories, peer councils and workshops.

The onsite event takes place Jan. 27 to 29, 2013 at the Stanford Court Renaissance Hotel in San Francisco, Calif., where participants will benefit from a plethora of networking opportunities, opening with a tour and taste of the local Napa Valley vineyards.
