Agenda
Full details on Synergy’s 60+ breakout sessions are now available in the Session Catalog. The sessions are divided among three highly targeted tracks:
- Desktop Virtualization
- Datacenter/Cloud

The information-packed sessions will be presented not only by Citrix product and technical experts but also by customers, other leading technology vendors, and technical experts and practitioners, whose topics were selected through an independent judging process. These sessions will show innovative ways in which virtualization, networking and the cloud can create a dynamic, agile IT infrastructure, no matter which product or solution is utilized. Other Synergy agenda highlights include intensive Hands-on Learning Labs, free certification testing at the Testing Center, and Geek Speak Live! unconference activities.
Synergy is designed to encourage you to interact with other attendees and actively participate in the full range of activities, whether it’s by scheduling meetings with peers in the Event Connection Lounge, voting on your favorite Synergy sponsor product for the Best of Show Award, or accumulating points through the Synergy eAuction program, where the more you participate, the more points you earn to bid on valuable prizes. You’ll enjoy plenty of networking and socializing opportunities at the Welcome Reception and over-the-top Final Night Party at scenic Treasure Island.
