I went to Dell Enterprise Forum a few years back (I think it's been renamed Dell World). It was somewhat valuable, but that was primarily due to the fact that we're a large Dell shop (Client/Server and Storage). They did use the conference to announce future roadmaps, but that information is easily attainable to the day of, or the day after announcement. I'm not sure how the conference has matured over the last few years.
Another consideration, although one that may be more viable for medium to large organizations, is scheduling Executive Briefings with your key vendors at their headquarters. In some cases the vendor will even subsidize some/all of the expenses. You can get the chance to see manufacturing first hand, custom presentations/roadmap discussions on current/future technologies that matter to your business. Plus they usually wine and dine the heck out of you. - Sean On Tue, May 19, 2015 at 1:37 PM, Jonathan Raper <[email protected]> wrote: > +100 > > > > Jonathan > > > > *From:* [email protected] [mailto: > [email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Sean Martin > *Sent:* Tuesday, May 19, 2015 3:29 PM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* Re: [NTSysADM] IT Conferences? > > > > I find the most value at Vmworld.
