If you can only go to one NetQoS Symposium at Barton Creek Resort this April 19th through 22nd, make it THIS NetQoS Symposium at Barton Creek Resort this April 19th through 22nd.
If you’re not familiar with Symposium, allow me to explain it a bit – once a year, NetQoS gathers together some of our best and brightest, invites the best and brightest from our current and prospective customers, and provides three days of expert presentations, technical workshops, product training, and hands-on labs. To entice people to come (not that that’s not enticement enough) we also put on some good entertainment and hold it at the Barton Creek Resort.
The idea is that, through the Symposium, those who are unfamiliar with NetQoS products become familiar with them – those who use NetQoS products learn to use them more effectively, and everyone gets to hang out together and talk shop for a while.
For NetQoS employees, the Symposium is also known as “Free Polo Shirt Day.” Once a year at Symposium, we release a flock of polo shirts into the wild, as a symbol of hope that someday there will be peace among natural and synthetic fabrics. (Of course, any polo shirts that we catch, we get to keep – and polo shirts are notoriously bad sprinters – so you’ll probably see us all decked out in NetQoS branded polo shirts on the Symposium floor.)
If you’re interested in registering, hit www.netqos.com/NS2009 – the site there should give you all the details. The event’s free of charge for NetQoS customers to attend.
Here’s a few of the events going on this year:
- Colonel Mike Mullane, a former NASA astronaut who flew on three Space Shuttle missions, will be one of our keynote speakers.
- The Professional Services department is allowing customers who attend to sign up for a Complimentary Review of Your NetQoS Product Configurations (on a first-come, first-served basis).
- Symposium attendees can sign up for NetAnalyst Training and Certification at NetQoS headquarters from April 22-24th – right after Symposium – for a deep discount.
- We’ll have our usual welcome reception, Casino Night, and an evening of dining and entertainment at the Texas State History Museum where guests are welcome to tour the museum or watch “U2-3D” in the IMAX theatre. That last bit isn’t a joke – there really is a 3D IMAX movie about U2, and you really can go see it. I know it sounds like a joke, but it totally isn’t. I know, I had to double-check that myself.
There are many more reasons to attend, but you can catch up on them at the official NetQoS Symposium 2009 Web site, and we’ll absolutely have more information on the blog as Symposium gets closer.
