What's new in 2012?

In 2012, we’re expecting a busy time in the desktop virtualization industry. We have the classic solutions that we pay attention to from Citrix, VMware, Quest, and Microsoft, but with new releases from them and Windows 8 on the horizon, there’s lots to talk about. We also have application virtualization and user environment management as part of that mix, just to make it more interesting. In addition to that, technologies surrounding cloud services, BYOC, BYOD, security, mobile device management, and consumerization are becoming more relevant and important each month.

BriForum is the only technical event that is 100% dedicated to desktop virtualization, VDI, application virtualization, Remote Desktop Services, and the consumerization of IT. This is your exclusive opportunity to participate in 40+ technical breakout sessions led by expert speakers who provide the most independent, advanced, technical information and best practices around this constantly evolving space. Top-notch industry analysts, bloggers and best-selling authors will tackle these issues and technologies head on and offer the latest tips, tricks, and verified techniques that can be applied immediately within your organization. They talk honestly and openly about technical challenges they have faced, how they solved them, what works and what does not work.

Among other things, they’ll look at how user environment management solutions can help with OS migrations, whether they’re to physical or virtual machines. In addition, find out how application virtualization’s role in the virtual desktop space is critical to the success of a project, not to mention the specifics of VDI and server-based computing. And, gain insight into emerging technologies and how BYOPC, BYOD, mobile device management, and consumerization are affecting companies today.

BriForum attendees are also able to interact with over 30 of the top solution providers in the Demo Lab where 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 tough questions--free from hype.

In addition, there’s plenty of time to network with peers, speakers, and sponsors during the show as well as during evening events, such as the Geek Out party. Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind conference. Register today!

Attendee Testimonials

See what your peers have said about our past BriForum events:

“This is by far the best conference. There is really a sense of community cooperation and involvement... and we do not always need to agree. I love being in a session and the presenter is talking about a particular technology and the person next to me is the person wholly or partially responsible for creating the technology.”

“BriForum is an awesome event, the content alone is worth going for even if I had to sleep in a tent outside.”

“I like the community feel. It’s rare that you attend a conference where you have all access to the presenters during and after the conference hours to discuss information.”

“Most enjoyable conference I've participated in. I'll definitely be back next year.”

“The quality of the speakers and topics were very well done for this tech-centric crowd.”

“So many good presentations full of great information covering an excellent range of topics. Wish I could attend again and see the ones I missed.”  

“I enjoyed bouncing ideas off of vendors and Brian Madden himself. It is nice to interact with other people who are dealing with the same potential problems we are.”

"It was great having a real Citrix and Microsoft presence there. I had a chance to sit down with both groups and get some real one-on-one time. I know not everyone did it, nor would there be that type of offering; however, I did it, and I am that much for fulfilled because of it. The sessions were great, but I got LOADS of information in those two "private encounters."

“This was my first time and I must say it was the best technical conference I've ever attended in 15+ years of IT. I will be back even if my boss doesn't pay.”
