This two-day Hands-On Summit is based on the earlier successful EMEA Summits, which are both complete Hands-On events. Attendees at similar events have used our Hands-On labs to:
  • Quickly discover how new solutions will be of benefit for your organization - no need to spend much time to set up you own test environment, you simply take our prepared labs home after the event.
  • Dive deeper into solutions your organization already uses, to make sure your investment in these technologies are used even more effectively and efficient
Based on the feedback from our attendees in earlier years, we keep improving our events. Here are some of the 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, OES, ZENworks, GroupWise, Teaming + Conferencing 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!
