NetApp Cancels User Conference

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP) today canceled the companys February 2009 user conference, NetApp Accelerate, in response to customer feedback about increasing restrictions on corporate travel. Details on the conference, announced in August of this year, are available at http://www.netapp.com/us/company/news/news-rel-20080818.html.

Registered attendees will receive full refunds of any deposits and/or conference fees they have already paid to NetApp.

“We had more customer interest in NetApp Accelerate than we anticipated,” said Elisa Steele, senior vice president, Corporate Marketing, at NetApp. “But those same customers told us their travel budgets were being cut and it was difficult to commit to attending in today’s climate of economic uncertainty. For those reasons, we decided to cancel this year’s program.”
