Citrix Synergy 2016 Survival Guide - Tips for First Time Synergy Attendees
Written by David Marshall
Let's face it, it's been a wild 12 months for Citrix since last year's Synergy event. But things appear to be taking shape quite nicely for the company, and I expect we'll get quite the education as to the direction of the company for the remainder of the year and beyond during Synergy 2016. Things should prove quite illuminating. But on a personal note, the one thing I will definitely miss at this year's conference will be Mark Templeton. Not seeing and hearing him on the big stage or catching up with him 1:1 will be difficult after all these years.
But that means that conference attendees will also get their first look at the new Citrix CEO, Kirill Tatarinov. Tatarinov, a 13 year veteran of Microsoft, where he was most recently Executive Vice President of the Microsoft Business Solutions Division, is putting the finishing touches on the company’s new plan. Expect to hear all about it during the keynote presentations.Citrix Synergy 2016 takes place May 24-26th and this year the venue moves to fabulous Las Vegas at the Venetian and Sands Expo. Whether this is your first Citrix pilgrimage made to Synergy, or, whether you are an old pro and card carrying alumni member, I'd like to share a few tips and tricks with you to help make your coming event as smooth and as successful as possible. I'm sure I'll miss a number of key tips or tricks, so please feel free to chime in to help others.
