UK Summit 2010

October 13 + 14, 2010
Milton Keynes (UK)

The UK Summit is the highlight of the
Open Horizons events in the UK region.
 
For 2010, the event will be hosted at Horwood House, close to Milton Keynes. Last year our attendees appreciated this event a lot and some of them almost begged us so they could get more.
 
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:
  • 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: 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.
