Why should you attend?   Location
This two-day Hands-On Summit is based on the successful GroupWise EMEA Summits. During the last years these Summits have evolved into complete Hands-On 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 Teaming + Conferencing, ZENWorks and GroupWise.
  • By Experts for Experts: Labs will be presented by world famous International and Local Experts. Local speakers will bridge the language barrier and make sure help in your own language is always available.
  • Fully Interactive: Each lab will run for 3,5 hours with a maximum of 20 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 to maximize your time spend on the lab content.
  • Keynote by Phil Karren, Novell Product Manager for GroupWise and Teaming + Conferencing.
  • Take it Home - Free USB hard drive for each attendee, to contain all labs which will be attended. This way the labs can also be practiced back home or at the office.
So get involved and become inspired, as all attendees of the previous Summits have been!
