I will not only be attending PubForum 2008 but I will be speaking at it. The event is being held in Dublin from May 9th until the 11th in the Camden Court Hotel in Lower Camden Street, Dublin 2.
PubForum is run by Alex Yushchenko, a Terminal Services MVP and virtualisation pro. The idea is to educate about server based computing (AKA thin client) and virtualisation. As the name suggests, there is also some beer consumed. The types of people present include the biggest names in this market in Europe. I was at a previous event in Brussels in 2006 as a delegate and it was a real eye opener on how big and complex this market it … I just thought there was Microsoft, Citrix and VMware. Damn, I was wrong! It was also a lot of fun … I barely remember me and a colleague spending endless hours with a bunch of crazy Swedes and Norwegians in the hotel bar every night.
My presentation is called "Adventures In Blade/SAN/Virtualisation and My ‘Ideal’ Design" .. basically what I’ve learned while doing this sort of thing in the past, what I’m also doing right now and what I’d do with unlimited budget. It’s bound to be an hour of … open debate 🙂
