As IT professionals constantly working in the data center, we often focus entirely on elements like storage, virtualization and IOPs, and forget the real purpose for these infrastructures: to provide applications and services to users. Attend this free, invitation-only dinner event – featuring independent expert Brian Madden and his 15 years of experience in the desktop and application deliver realm – as your opportunity to take a step back. Brian details the expectations of the modern end-user and explains how you can best accommodate these needs without re-architecting your data center.

During this complimentary half-day event, independent experts, Brian Madden and Jack Madden, examine IT consumerization trends – “BYOD”, mobile device management (MDM), etc. – and explore how technologies like desktop virtualization, MDM software, cloud computing and others can help you regain control of IT. When you leave this exclusive seminar, you’ll understand what the consumerization of IT really is and what steps you need to take to address it in your organization.

Coming to 23 cities across the globe this year, independent industry experts will guide you through proven ways to deal with Windows apps and desktops in a world of tablets, BYO, and web. Spend just a few hours out of the office to take advantage of a live Q&A, peer networking opportunities and tons of valuable information regarding how to effectively manage your users’ desktops in the consumerization era.
