Synergy 2008 turned out to be an incredible event, it was an Expo, an iForum, IT 2.0 , and it was Geek Speak Live all in one. I had my reservations at first, as I really didn't like the idea of moving it from October to May, which in my point of view, put it in the same time slot as so many other events. I knew that this had the possibility of making people having to choose which event to go to during this time. I would like to thank all of you that were able to attend, and I hope that it was all that you expected and more.
Here are some photos I took during the first day registration:
Citrix has grown its position in the industry and in the community, we hope to hear from you, as we would like to know how we can make things even better, please let us how we can make Citrix and our involvement go to places never thought possible.
Thanks for attending and we hope to see you next year!
On behalf of the Synergy Underground team, we would like to thank you all for tuning in and watching.

It was great to see all of the many people that came to Geek Speek Live, and it was even more incredible to see that it turned out to be a standing room only event! Not that I didn't want everyont to have a seat, of which we apologize to you for underestimating the amount of people who would be attending. We knew that there was a need and demand for people to have a voice and dialog with Citrix community, but who would have guessed that it was going to be this big
Here are some photos I took on day 1 of Geek Speak Live
I want to thank everyone who was involved in Geek Speak Live, the people who envisioned it, the people who helped make it a reality, the people who set it up, the speakers, the sponser (Intel), and of course the attendees.
We look forward to any and all feedback you have to making this and even more impressive event, so please, if you have any ideas or feedback please let us know how we can make it even better.
Thank You All!

Overview | Where virtualization, networking and application delivery meet
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.
Overview | Conference Highlights
In addition to being the best event to expand your knowledge and skills regarding application delivery, networking and virtualization, Synergy is also a great place to find out what other organizations, industry experts, vendors and opinion leaders are doing.
