Conferences
Published May 8, 2015 Updated Mar 4, 2019

Citrix Synergy, E2EVC and BriForum are just around the corner. I will be presenting at each of these conferences. Here are a few tidbits to whet your appetite.

Citrix Synergy Orlando

Having spent the majority of the past weeks preparing my sessions it feels good to finally be able to present! I will be on stage at next week’s Citrix Synergy Orlando three days in a row, starting Tuesday, May 12th at 2 PM with SYN502 - I’ve got 99 problems, and folder redirection is every one of them. That session is a follow-up to the last year’s very successful folder redirection presentation, and I am co-presenting with the awesome Aaron Parker (@stealthpuppy) and Shawn Bass (@ShawnBass).

Next up on Wednesday, May 13th at 3:30 PM is SYN509 - How Group Policy Impacts Logon Performance.

User Logon

A day later, on Thursday May 14th at 8:30 AM you can learn even more about the Windows logon process in SYN409 - Dissecting the XenApp/XenDesktop Logon Process.

E2EVC Orlando

As a community conference E2EVC is a great way to get to know, share and learn with and from the many awesome people in the virtualization community. E2EVC is right after Synergy in a nearby location which makes it convenient (and definitely worthwhile) to stay an extra day or two. I will be demoing our user experience analytics tool uberAgent on Friday, May 15th at 1:30 PM and explain how to easily impress your customers with the cool data it provides.

BriForum London

With only a one-day stop back at home my next destination is London, where you have another chance to hear Dissecting the XenApp / XenDesktop Logon Process and How Group Policy Impacts Logon Performance, albeit in much more detail as BriForum sessions with their 75 minutes duration offer a lot more room for explanation than the 45 minutes sessions at Synergy.

Even More

Back from London, you can find me in Bielefeld at bluecue’s solution seminar on May 21st.

I am already looking forward to E2EVC Berlin where I will be demoing uberAgent on Friday, June 12th at 3:30 PM and repeating the Dissecting the XenApp/XenDesktop Logon Process session on Saturday, June 13th at 3:30 PM.

Later in June I will travel to beautiful Vaduz, Liechtenstein, and Basel, Switzerland, to present at LC Systems’ Splunk events.

I hope to see you at one or more of these great events in the coming weeks!

Conferences 2012 and Beyond

What do I do for a living? I travel to community conferences, of course. In 2012 I spent 44 days going to 10 different conferences - err, wait, that is I would love to earn a living that way, but of course I have to work like everybody else. Nevertheless, having my own company I can be flexible as to how and where I spend my time off. Apart from being with my family there is little else more compelling than meeting my peers, talking to thought leaders in the industry and hanging out with overall great guys. In 2012 I have been doing that a lot. I spent a whopping 44 days travelling. I went to 10 different conferences, 3 in the US and another 7 in Europe. And I presented at 7 of them.

Laudation to E2EVC - Experts to Experts Virtualization Conference

Laudation to E2EVC - Experts to Experts Virtualization Conference

On the eve of my departure for E2EVC Athens I feel it is time for a laudation. Let me explain why. Athens will be my 22nd E2EVC out of 40 events total. In the past eight years, I attended every single E2EVC event in Europe and the US. There is a reason for that, of course. It is certainly not an overabundance of time on my part or even wanderlust. It is simply the fact that E2EVC’s creator, Alex Cooper, has done the most remarkable thing. He single-handedly established the Citrix community in Europe (and helped along the greater end-user community quite a bit). That is a - very - significant achievement.

Hear Me Speak and Talk to Me

Do you like what you read in this blog but have questions I did not answer (yet)? Or do you prefer listening and talking to live human beings instead of sitting alone in front of your screen? Well, come hear me speak and tell me what you think! This summer I will be speaking at the following conferences (all in Germany and in German, I am afraid):
