Why Covenco customer events are worth your time
Most IT events follow the same formula: vendors present, lunch is served, you leave with a bag of branded merchandise and a strong desire for the afternoon back. These are not those events.
Covenco Executive Briefing & Experience Days are built around three things our customers tell us they actually need:
- Honest intelligence about what is changing
- Time to ask the questions you cannot get answered anywhere else
- The chance to talk to peers and specialists without a sales agenda getting in the way.
The morning programmes feature focused sessions from specialists who are working at the sharp end of data security, ransomware response, and quantum-resistant encryption. Our customers leave with a clearer picture of what their organisation needs to do now.
INTELLIGENCE
Real intelligence.
Tightly focused speaker sessions covering ransomware, data classification, and quantum encryption risk.
Content you can act on the moment you walk back through your office door.
CONVERSATION
Ask the questions you want answered.
Our format includes a moderated panel session puts you in direct conversation with the experts in the room.
Bring the questions your team has been debating.
Get straight answers.
PEOPLE
The right people in the room.
Small, invitation-only events.
A select group of IT leaders, a networking BBQ in the courtyard, and an afternoon that is genuinely worth staying for.
No sales pitching.
Who our customers learned from
Veeam
Platform Roadmap & Securiti.AI:
Finding What You Cannot See
Speakers: Paul Szelesi and Luca Dell’Oca, Veeam
Paul Szelesi and Luca Dell’Oca are among the most knowledgeable Veeam practitioners in Europe. Their sessions cover the Veeam product roadmap and includes a live demonstration of Securiti.AI, Veeam’s advanced data classification platform, showing how it identifies sensitive data exposure at a speed and scale that manual processes cannot match.
If you are a Veeam customer, this session alone is reason enough to be in the room.
LRQA
AI-Fuelled Ransomware:
The Coming Storm
Speaker: LRQA Cyber Security Team
Everyone loves a war story. LRQA are at the front line of active ransomware and cyber-attack response, and their intelligence is drawn from incidents they are working on right now.
This session delivers a frank and at times uncomfortable appraisal of how AI is being weaponised by attackers, what it means for businesses of every size, and where the threat is heading next. If you manage IT infrastructure and consider your current defences adequate, this session will challenge that.
QUANTROPI
Y2Q: The Quantum Encryption Threat Every IT Director Needs to Understand
Speaker: Quantropi
Some of us remember Y2K. We rolled our eyes, and the day passed without incident. Y2Q is different. Recent advances in quantum computing and AI have shortened the timeline to breaking today’s encryption standards to just one to three years.
The most exposed targets are the 13 billion IoT devices already on your network, many running weak or no encryption at all. Quantropi will walk through the threat and their TrUE platform: quantum-secure encryption that runs on today’s infrastructure, no hardware overhaul required.
The Afternoon - Optional, But Hard to Leave
RAGE BUGGIES
High-speed off-road racing buggies on a purpose-built course. No experience required. A competitive streak helps.
QUAD BIKES
Track-based quad biking with instruction. Points scored for speed, line, and commitment. Accessible for all fitness levels.
REVERSE STEER DRIVING
Cars where the steering goes the wrong way round. Sounds straightforward. It is not. Consistently the most entertaining activity of the afternoon – for participants and spectators alike.
Also in the Room

- Wasabi – high-performance cloud storage with no egress fees
- Scality – software-defined storage for petabyte-scale requirements
- IBM (TD Synnex) – Power Servers and FlashSystem Storage
