Uptime. Without it, businesses don't bring in revenue. In today's networked, run all the time, compete globally world, any downtime is costly. Unplanned downtime can be disastrous. That is why 7x24 Exchange came into being. We host an all-day technical conference annually (formerly, it was twice a year), and smaller events throughout the year. Our conferences consistently get the highest ratings of all the 7x24 Chapters.

We are a non-profit group staffed entirely by volunteers.

The purpose of this group is to promote the exchange of useful information between people involved in critical uptime management. The 7x24 Exchange is the leading knowledge and networking exchange for those who design, build, use, and maintain mission-critical information infrastructures. This whole process allows you to alert top management to the importance of protective measures to ensure continued reliable operation of your critical systems.

Typically, our members deal in 7x24 operations. Our members consist of end users and vendors. Our board consists of end-users and vendors, with the emphasis on end-users (our bylaws prohibit a vendor from being Director). 

We hold two one-day conferences a year. Corporate sponsors keep the conference fees down--we have been holding  conferences for the low fee of $60 for quite some time.

We have had top names present to us--for example, Mike Holt, Jean-Pierre Wolff, and Michael Daish.

We cover everything important to a facilities manager and related positions: batteries, fuel cells, HVAC, switchgear, testing, grounding, power measurement, disaster recovery, and security are some topics we've covered at conferences.
