The Benelux Summit is the highlight of the
Open Horizons events in the Benelux region.
 
For 2010, the event will be hosted at Mondorf Resort, close to Luxembourg city. This will be the first time we offer this event in Luxembourg, however our attendees in the Netherlands in previous appreciated this event a lot.
 
So now we will back with more labs and speakers, to satisfy the big need for more information about Novell solutions.

 
   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.
 
 
   
Why should you attend?
 
This two-day Hands-On Summit is based on the earlier successful EMEA Summits, offering a large number of 3,5 hour Hands-On labs. Here are some of more advantages of this event:
