What kind of professionals attend BriForum?

BriForum is a technical conference, so everyone who attends is technical.

Since the event focuses on application and desktop virtualisation, attendees include people who are interested in server-based computing, application streaming, and VDI technologies.

Most people who attend BriForum work in the IT departments of companies and spend their time involved in these technologies. But we also get a lot of people who are consultants, in addition to vendors and analysts who just want to learn more about how the industry works.

Geographically speaking, our attendees come from all over the world.

The only thing the attendees have in common is that they all want to learn more about these technologies. They want insight into what's really happening in this industry and how these products work in a no-fluff, no-spin way.
