Top 10 Reasons to Attend
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
10) Independent Expert Content: Our speaker line-up consisting of the most respected industry analysts, bloggers, and best-selling authors will share advice gained from extensive experience working with virtualization technologies, and provide you with tips, tricks, techniques and strategies which you can implement immediately within your own organization. They talk honestly and openly about technical challenges they have faced, how they solved them, what works and what does not work. As always, this includes Brian Madden – the host of the show, known throughout the world as an opinionated, super technical, fiercely independent desktop virtualization guru.
9) The Most Relevant Technologies: 2011 is a big year for desktop virtualization - Citrix, VMware, and Quest have all released major new versions of their desktop virtualization products and bare metal client hypervisors are available from multiple vendors. Application virtualization is becoming mainstream, and user virtualization products are bridging the gap and helping customers migrate from physical to virtual environments. There will be plenty of expert technical sessions highlighting the major updates to these technologies, explaining how they will affect you now and in the future.
8) Address Windows 7 and Cloud Computing Concerns: With just about everyone going through their Windows 7 planning and trying to figure out how desktop virtualization fits into their overall strategy, our experts will provide their advice on whether to virtualize it and best practices for doing so. In addition, will all the hype around cloud computing, find out everything you need to know in regards to how it relates to your desktop and application management strategy.
7) Extremely Hands-on: In our DEMO lab, each and every participating vendor is required to have hands-on working demonstrations of their technology and senior level technical staff on site to answer all your questions, free from hype. Over 20 of the top solution providers will be there to discuss all the recent changes, answer your questions, and allow you to try out their solutions for yourself.
6) Designed to be Interactive: With attendance limited to 350 attendees, you’ll have plenty of time to mingle with the expert speakers who will be leading the technical sessions. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with your peers from around the globe who are dealing with the same issues you are - share best practices and lessons learned. As mentioned above, with companies representing 35 U.S. states and 10 other countries (including Australia, Canada, Colombia, Germany, and Switzerland) your peers comprised of administrators, architects, engineers, managers, consultants and more have already made the important decision to attend BriForum U.S. as they realize this is an event you can’t afford to miss.
5) No Marketing Spin: Since there is no marketing content in BriForum sessions, you’ll benefit from deep technical dives into the products you use or are considering using. Receive the latest, real-world information from respected industry experts, as well as leading solution providers.
4) Fun Evening Events: Due to popular demand, Geek Out will be returning this year and will take place during the first night of the show. Geek Out is a light-hearted "geek" game show where we choose participants from the audience - so if you come to BriForum you’ll have a chance to play! Match your wits and test your skills during this special event.
3) Perfect Timing and Location: We are very excited to bring BriForum back to Chicago this year and will be holding the three-day show at McCormick Place. Chicago combines an easy to reach travel destination that offers plenty of activities, fine dining, and family-oriented fun. Also, July is the ideal month to seek new technology for inclusion in the second half of 2011 and projects for the upcoming calendar year.
