What are WorldHostingDays?

What are WorldHostingDays?

Concept

WHD is the world's largest hosting event. Its main part, a four-day conference and trade fair, takes place in Germany from March 22 – 25, 2011.

In autumn 2011, the new spin-off called WHD.local will bring some interesting companies and speakers to a city near you.

Summer 2011 is the date for WHD.asia, a smaller version of the show taking place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and mainly addressing the Asian market.

„It was good opportunity to learn about the unique dynamics of the European hosting market, something that I value as an industry analyst. It was also a good networking opportunity and for Tier1 Research, a sales opportunity. Speaking off the record, German beer is fabulous. I highly recommend Weizen”
Phil Shih, Analyst, Tier1 Research
