• In a session entitled "Cloud Computing Everywhere: How Are We Going to Manage All of This?" Barry Lynn, CA executive advisor and former CEO at 3Tera, will discuss how the management of IT in the cloud must evolve for this model to become pervasive among enterprises.

• In a session entitled "Making Sense of Cloud Service Management," Mark Rivington, vice president of technology for the Nimsoft business unit at CA, will characterize the shift in management responsibility that comes with the adoption of any of the predominant cloud computing service types—Infrastructure as a Service, Software as a Service, and Platform as a Service.   He will discuss best practices used by early adopters to monitor services delivered in cloud computing deployments. Rivington will also participate on the CTO Power Panel—"Has Enterprise IT Changed Forever and for Always," on Tuesday, April 20.

Brown also will speak at the Business Software Alliance Cybersecurity Forums in Brussels, Belgium, and Washington, D.C. on April 13 and 29 respectively.
