  Tech Field Day is an independently organized conference series centered on enterprise IT infrastructure. Organized by Gestalt IT Media LLC, the Field Day series is intended to bring together product vendors and independent bloggers, freelance writers, speakers, and leaders of online communities. The Field Day event series began in 2009 with a general datacenter event and expanded in 2010 to include an event focused on enterprise networking.
