Pop into the comments on this thread and let us know what you're hoping to get out of Accelerate. Then, come find me in the Customer Lounge for your chance at the claw machine. (Just like in Vegas!) [ Housekeeping reminders: Please make sure you have your QR code to gain access prior to picking up your badge. There also will be a bag check prior to entering. And if you haven't registered yet, there's still time! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. ] Cheers! Bri from the Community Team

If you're coming to Pure Accelerate, make time for the Everpure™ Cloud sessions. This year's lineup brings together breakout sessions, flash talks, and a community meetup focused on modern cloud storage across Azure and AWS, workload design, hybrid cloud strategy, and practical ways to improve cost efficiency and operational simplicity.
