HPE Discover represents Hewlett Packard Enterprise's flagship technology conference tailored for business and governmental clientele. In 2011, HP Enterprise Business merged its annual gatherings—HP Software Universe, HP Technology Forum, and HP Technology@Work—into one consolidated event known as HP Discover. Currently, this conference is held twice each year: once serving the Americas region and once for Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). After Hewlett-Packard divided into HP Inc and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, the event was renamed HPE Discover to concentrate exclusively on enterprise-focused products and solutions.

Presentations, interactive labs, and exhibits highlighted the comprehensive HP Enterprise Business offerings—including servers, storage solutions, networking equipment, software platforms, and professional services. The event also showcased an early preview of the upcoming tablet device, the webOS TouchPad, scheduled for release in July 2011.
