   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 explore and evaluate new 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.
 
On request we will offer an optional third day this year - extend your participation for a very attractive prize!
   
Why should you attend?
This two-day Hands-On Summit is based on the earlier successful Summits, offering a large number of 3,5 hour Hands-On labs as well as (new!) full-day training sessions. Here are some more advantages of this event:
  • 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, Identity & Security Management, ZENworks, Teaming, GroupWise,Conferencing, OES, Novell Data Synchronizer and partner solutions.
  • By Experts for Experts: All labs & training will be presented by global & local experts.
  • Fully Interactive: Each lab will run for 3,5 hours and each training a full-day with a maximum of 16 people in one lab-room, so 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.
