Dell’s End-to-End Solutions Event Heads to Miami June 24-26

By   |  

First, there was Dell Storage Forum. Born of the Compellent C-drive conference.

Then came Dell Enterprise Forum. Bringing customers a chance to see the broader portfolio of not only storage, but also servers, networking and other enterprise solutions from Dell.

Now we invite you to… Dell User Forum! The next evolutionary stage of our annual event for Dell customers and channel partners integrates Dell Software users in these three days of technical learning.

“I love the depth of technical information provided,” one of last year’s attendees told us. “I was surprised how much I learned, simply because we work so much with the product already. But we’ve gotten a lot of good technical information out of working with the experts available at the conference.”

And what did last year’s attendees predict we’d be talking about this year? Topics they mentioned in this video include: cloud, managed services, big data, mobile computing, storage, converged infrastructure and… lounge chairs?

Many of those predictions will be true, as Dell executives and technical experts discuss our end-to-end technology solutions, data center and software roadmaps, and customer case studies. Attendees will be the first to see our latest products and services and hear our plans for the future.

How will Dell User Forum be different from our annual Dell World event, though?

Dell User Forum is packed with more than 90 technical breakouts. There’s more opportunity to get in-depth with our engineers, whiteboard with architects and ask specialists about your IT environment. This intensive learning experience is geared toward IT enthusiasts and end users who want to dive deep into industry trends and share best practices. While the User Forum and Dell World are separate events this year, next year they will happen simultaneously.
