Dell Technologies Chairman and CEO Michael Dell kicks off one of the premier events of the company Dell Technologies World 2018 in Las Vegas. According to the company executives, as many as 14,000 visitors are attending this year conference.
“Dell Technologies World is our opportunity to share our vision of technology as the driver of human progress in every corner of the world,” stated Michael Dell, Chairman and CEO, Dell Technologies.
