Town and the Western Cape is a cosmopolitan destination where cultural
diversity
creates an exciting vibrancy and adds to its creativity.

There are many reasons to join this event, however these are the two
main reasons to join this event:
 Learn All about New Solutions
|
 Dive Deeper into Existing Solutions
|
|
To really exploreand evaluatenew
solutions, do not
waste time to set up your own lab, instead join our
experts who have
done all the preparatory work already. Join our labs
and take home the
results on your free
harddisk.
This has
proven to be the most easy and efficient way to discover how
your
organization can benefit from the newest
solutions. |
Most
organizations do not use the full
capacity of their IT
solutions. Explore how new versions and new
features deliver more Value-for-Money and let our
experts guide you
thru the latest and
greatest.You will discover
features that will add more value to your IT
infrastructure and will
make your organization more efficient
and effective. | |

very attractive prize! |

This two-day Hands-On Summit is based on the earlier successful EMEA Summits, which are both complete Hands-On events. Based on the feedback from our attendees in earlier years, we keep improving our events. Here are some of the advantages:
- Learn by Doing: Instead of just listening to speakers, you will get a chance to really work with the latest versions of SUSE Linux Enterprise, ZENworks, GroupWise, Teaming + Conferencing, OES, Novell Data Syncronizer and partner solutions.
- By Experts for Experts: Connect to global and local
experts in their fields. All labs will be presented by well known Local
and International Experts.
- Fully Interactive: Each lab will run for 3,5 hours with a maximum of 15
people in one lab-room, there is plenty
of time to ask questions and get the right answers.
- Fully Equipped Lab-rooms: Each lab-room will be equipped with a laptop for
each attendee. All laptops will be fully equipped and prepared for the labs.
- Free USB hard drive, so you can copy all labs
you attend and you practice back home or at the office.
So get involved and become inspired, as all attendees of
the previous Summits have been! |
