Our host was Rainer Zielonka, Director Europe Storage Competence Center, who is also a Director on the TSANet Europe Board.

The purpose of a TSANet members' meeting is to facilitate knowledge sharing and discussion with support colleagues in a non-sales, non-competitive environment.

Also for members to be part of the decision process in future strategy of the TSANet organisation.

Stephanie was ably assisted in the logistics and planning by Cornelia Steffen, the IBM events coordinator at the Mainz facility. Leigh Darby was responsible for working with the guest speakers to brief on TSANet and create the agenda based on agreed appropriate themes and topics. Nicki Sanday also helped with logistics and administration during the event.
