HOPKINTON, MA. – October 14, 2009 –EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC), the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today hosted the third annual EMC Innovation Conference, showcasing the collective power of global community-based innovation.

With this conference, EMC continues to bring together the power of its more than 40,000 employees through its leading use of the latest social media technologies.

Our aim is to bring into the innovation stream the broadest possible collection of perspectives. We’re particularly motivated by ideas that help us move forward in strategic increments: those that deliver value today, as well as positioning EMC for emerging opportunities downstream.”
