I am looking forward to flying to Houston and getting this event started. I think that after seeing this line up and the list of technical sessions in the other tracks, I think you will agree with Shawn Bass when he wrote -
I'm getting the general feeling like this might just be the most technical Citrix iForum ever

The March of Dimes Walk for Babies is in full swing. The Citrix office in Silicon Valley and the Citrix Online team have both recently created teams to help the March of Dimes Walk for Babies.
Wes Wasson, our SVP of Marketing, recently spoke at the March of Dimes March for Babies in the Bay Area in Northern California.
This video from the March of Dimes explains why the March for Babies is so important.
I know from personal experience the importance of research into birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. My daughter was born 7 weeks premature after many complications, and weighed about four pounds at birth. She was just about the size of my hand.
Thankfully, our sweet little girl is a very healthy and happy three year old today. Much of the thanks goes to the research supported by the March of Dimes and the March for Babies.
