SMT Data will present at GSUK2025

How to become a Formula 1 racing star. It is all about Performance

SMT Data is pleased to announce that Kim Mortensen and Gabriel Guth-Kaltschmied will present their session “How to become a Formula 1 racing star. It is all about Performance.” at the GSUK Conference 2025 in November.

The session was originally presented at the Wavez Spring 2025 event, where it received great feedback for its creative and engaging approach to IT performance management. Drawing parallels between Formula 1 racing and enterprise IT performance, Kim and Gabriel explore how precision, speed, and teamwork determine success – both on the racetrack and in the data center.

Following its positive reception earlier this year, we look forward to presenting the session again at GSUK – giving a new audience the opportunity to experience its unique combination of storytelling, humor, and technical insight.

If you are attending GSUK 2025, make sure not to miss this session – it promises to deliver both inspiration and practical perspectives on performance and continuous improvement in IT.
