The groundbreaking event, with cooperation from HDSTOR, provides the ideal venue for the world’s top thought leaders to share the current state and future of the burgeoning infrastructure and storage industries.
Boasting a combined subscriber count just shy of 2M and growing, renowned creators Techno Tim Stewart, Tom Lawrence of Lawrence Systems, Wendell Wilson of Level 1 Techs, Jeff Geerling, and the newly announced Jeff Soleim of Craft Computing will round out the slate of featured luminaries descending on picturesque Cape Breton Island for a three-day event.
This summit promises an unmissable opportunity for enthusiasts, professionals, and tech aficionados to dive into the past, present, and future of data storage and its seamless integration within the IT landscape. Throughout the event, participants will engage in enlightening sessions, stimulating discussions, and a culminating live webcast that encapsulates the essence of these thought leaders' insights.
Jeff Geerling, the charismatic YouTube sensation with over 532,000 subscribers, is known not just for his technical prowess but also for his quirky alter-ego "Red Shirt Jeff."

Wendell Wilson of Level1Techs brings his forward-thinking insights into composable infrastructure and storage, and Tim Stewart (Techno Tim), a software engineer and tech consultant, will shed light on the intricate world of data storage as only he can.

Jeff Soleim, known for his channel, "Craft Computing", regularly addresses topics ranging from hardware and servers to Proxmox, virtualization, homelab and more - often with a beer in hand in his popular videos.

He continued, "Storage Summit 2023 is not just a conference; it's a celebration of knowledge-sharing and a platform to propel the future of data storage into uncharted territories.
