HPE Discover is the Hewlett Packard Enterprise showcase technology event for business and government customers. In 2011, HP Enterprise Business, along with participating independent user groups, combined its annual HP Software Universe, HP Technology Forum and HP Technology@Work into a single event, HP Discover. HP Official Press Kit. June 6, 2011. There are now two HPE Discover events annually, one for the Americas and one for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
