Let’s Get DISRUPT(ive) about End User Computing! IGEL North America’s First Ever Hosted Forum is Happening Soon!
Less than a month from now, IGEL North America will be hosting its first DISRUPT End User Computing Forum. We are stoked about bringing our VDI community together in a three-day event that will be rich in substance and content that will help our partners make 2018 a record year! Our Austin event is the second in a global DISRUPT series. Bremen, Germany, happening next week, is already sold out! We’re followed by Melbourne, Australia DISRUPT, March 13-14.
With close to two dozen speakers from leadership positions across the EUC sector, and 34 sponsors contributing their talent, knowledge and insights, our DISRUPT events are giving you a jump start on taking EUC to the next level in innovation, sales and new directions.
Another trade event? You’re asking yourself: should I add this to my already busy Q1 schedule? Here’s three reasons why IGEL DISRUPT will pay off for you in ROI:
- DISRUPT is laser-focused on helping you leverage new opportunities in the endpoint software market. This includes the phenomenal IoT market in which 50 billion devices will be connected by 2020.
- DISRUPT gives you an in-depth, and multi-dimensional look at end user computing without the distractions of a typical ‘trade show’ atmosphere. Case in point: our stellar speaker lineup which provides a valuable cross-section of insight from IGEL partners, customers, media, analysts and tech insiders – all of whom are moving the needle in end user technology.
- DISRUPT will disrupt you, in a good way:-) It will spark new ideas, new ways of growing your business in the channel, and for customers, new insights from your colleagues in other industry sectors!
