Citrix Synergy 2009 – May 4^th to 7^th 2009 in Las Vegas

Synergy 2009 has been completely reconceived as the industry's premier thought leadership event where virtualization, networking and application delivery meet. While other conferences provide broad topics of general interest to attract as many attendees as possible, Synergy remains tightly focused on virtualization, networking and application delivery, and will provide you with the steps you can take today to enable a simpler and more cost efficient computing environment for your company.

Synergy will enable you to break away from the cost and complexity of distributed computing. By making application delivery a strategic priority, you can lower TCO, improve business processes and respond to market forces with greater agility. You'll increase your skills and bring back new ideas and solutions that will enhance IT's strategic importance to your organization.

Great value: four events in one

Synergy will help you get the greatest value from your IT environment, and is also a tremendous value itself. At this premier application delivery conference, you get four events for the price of one:

• iForum – An in-depth user conference focusing on Citrix products and technologies.
• Geek Speak Live! – The ultimate unconference where you and your fellow participants pick the topics, run the discussions and generally call the shots.
• Virtualization Congress – Presented by virtualization.info, this event showcases technologies, products and guidelines to address the new challenges and opportunities with virtualization.
• Network World Live! – Brings together thought leaders in application delivery to detail how virtualization and networking technology can create a secure, dynamic infrastructure.

In addition, you'll be able to visit the Solutions Expo Hall, where more than 70 industry vendors will showcase their application delivery solutions.

No other industry event is squarely focused on application delivery. If you can only afford to attend a single conference in 2009, put Synergy at the top of your list.

GEEK SPEAK LIVE – "BIG AND BETTER THAN EVER"

Geek Speak Live! is the ultimate un-conference at Citrix Synergy, where tech experts, industry analysts, and bloggers take the reins – choosing discussion topics and facilitating the sessions. We'll be keeping the discussion real with a Geek Speak Track of unfiltered discussion sessions, a Geek Speakeasy lounge and classrooms, and the ever-popular evening event, Geek Speak Tonight!
