I am excited to inform you that we’ve recently added updated session and speaker descriptions to the three-day BriForum 2011 Chicago agenda – which is now posted on the event website. We’re thrilled to bring back previous BriForum speakers such as Kevin Goodman (Director of Product Management, VMware), Benny Tritsch (virtualization technology evangelist, IT systems architect, market analyst and author), and of course Brian Madden – the host of the show, known throughout the world as an opinionated, super technical, fiercely independent desktop virtualization guru.Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to interact with leading experts in addition to top solution providers and hundreds of your peers from around the globe at BriForum taking place at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago from July 19-21.
