Britannia Corporate Events is delighted to announce its appointment as the event organiser of The EMC Silicon Cup 2012.
The 13th IT Regatta, now known as The EMC Silicon Cup, will take place in September 2012 and is targeted to attract 50+ yachts, 500+ attendees and should raise over £50K for charity.
Entrants at the regatta have been many and varied with the majority returning each year. Competing teams include; manufacturers, Channel Partners, IT departments and other related suppliers. The majority of the key industry players are represented albeit in a variety of guises. Logos from EMC, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Symantec, Intel, System Professional, Pillar Data Systems, IBM and Attenda are all to be seen adorning the yachts.
Putting something back
The fundraising element of the event is significant yet not the central focus as we also wish to encourage Industry Networking, Corporate Hospitality and Teambuilding. Historically every penny raised by the various activities; entry fees, gala dinner, Irish raffle etc. is donated towards a small selection of charities. Last year’s achievement of £50k was allocated between the Jubilee Sailing Trust, the NSPCC and the Dreams Come True Charity.
Chartering a yacht – the full service from britannia
Britannia offers a full race entry service, handling your entire race entry, yacht sourcing, branding and participation, from start to finish. Alternatively, if you already have paid your entry fee, please feel free to contact us to discuss yacht-only charter packages.
