BigFix user conference next year?

(imported topic written by BenKus)

Hi everybody,

We were thinking of planning a BigFix user conference next year (probably in spring). The idea behind the event would be that we would offer information regarding various BigFix topics (advanced training, best-practices, new solutions, etc.), allow you to meet fellow BigFix users, listen to presentations and discussions regarding other user’s BigFix deployments, see BigFix roadmap details, and so on.

We are still in early planning stages and we are trying to get a sense of how many people would be interested in coming so please answer the poll above.

Thanks!

Ben

I would love to go, but it depends on the budget, of course.

It’d be great but I can’t see that I’d get funding for travelling from Scotland!

It would depend on location of conference and budget.

I would probably attend on my own money.

It would be splendid to have the opportunity to meet with other “BigFixers”, I suppose it all depends on venue especially for the EMEA based folks.

Is there any other news on whether you are going to be having the conference or not, Ben?

(imported comment written by BenKus)

The conference is still planned although we don’t yet have dates or destinations. It probably will be towards the beginning/middle of 2009 so we will keep you posted.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I would love to attend.

Our company would be interested in this as well.

Another idea is to help sponsor local user groups as well. This forum is great for getting information, but getting folks together in the same room can really make somethings happen.

definitely interested

Most definitely interested, maybe a central location though? Chicago? Dallas?

You’re being too practical… I’m thinking central like “Maui”… it’s one of the central islands in the chain.

Why not just have the conference on a cruise ship? I’m definitely interested, regardless of where it’s at.

Funny, until recently the last post on this was by Ben on 07/25/2008

Advanced User Training Class in Dallas, TX on May 10, 2016. No charge.

Is anyone aware of whether the custom content development class will be repeated for the US East Coast?
